THE ACCURACY OF CALCULATION OF MAGNETIC FIELDS, INDUCTANCE AND FORCES IN ELECTROMAGNETIC DEVICES USING THE RELUCTANCE NETWORK METHOD (RNM)

Abstract

Among the many calculation methods that allow the evaluation of magnetic field in different electromagnetic devices is the Reluctance Network Method (RNM). It is based on network theory according to which the analysed space is replaced by the network of magnetic reluctances, with magnetomotive forces as supply sources. This method makes it possible to analyse magnetic fields in two‐dimensional (2‐D) and three‐dimensional (3‐D) domains, and in comparison to other numerical methods (e.g. Finite‐Element Method) the calculation time is much shorter, with relatively good accuracy.
