The general 3D vector potential FEM formulations of non-linear anisotr
opic magnetostatic field have been derived by using the dyadic analysi
s in this paper. The Newton-Raphson method and improved ICCG algorithm
are used for the 3D non-linear anisotropic magnetostatic field comput
ation. The 3D magnetic field in a reactor, the inductance and the volt
age-current characteristic (V-I curve) of the reactor are calculated.
The harmonic components under 1.35 times rated voltage are analyzed by
the calculated V-I curve. The calculated results are quite satisfacto
ry when compared with the measurement ones.
