Equivalence between the equations off the reluctance network method an
d the equations of the edge element method has been presented. The edg
e values of magnetic vector potential represent the loop fluxes in rel
uctance network. Magnetomotive forces in the branches of the reluctanc
e network are defined by the edge values of current vector potential.
The magnetic scalar potential is determined in the centre of gravity o
f the element. The reluctance network formed by the edge element metho
d contains mutual reluctances.
