This paper presents an improved magnetic field analysis for induction
motor models. In the analysis with the conventional numerical modeling
of magnetic materials, the vector relations between the flux density
and the field intensity under a rotating field can not be expressed ex
actly. In this paper, we derived the tensor magnetic reluctivity from
the data measured with two-dimensional measurement method. This expres
sion is applied to analyze a three-phase induction motor model core. T
he examples show that the calculated results obtained by our new metho
d are different from those of the conventional modeling.
