Jp. Ducreux et G. Nicolas, FINITE-LENGTH EFFECTS STUDY IN MASSIVE IRON ROTORS USING 3D ELECTROMAGNETIC-FIELD COMPUTATION, IEEE transactions on magnetics, 31(3), 1995, pp. 2096-2099
The 3D effects in rotating electrical machines can be investigated by
analytical methods. However strong assumptions are necessary to obtain
a solution. Less assumptions are required with electromagnetic field
computation. We study here in this paper the closure of eddy current i
n massive iron rotors with some 3D computation programs using differen
t formulations. Each one can be used depending on the frequency of the
field harmonics represented. Besides some formulas are tested to incl
ude the 3D effects in 2D computation.
