Abstract
Presents the use of a 3D eddy current FE procedure for the analysis and design of two different induction machine structures: a radial and an axial machine. In the first case, attention is devoted to the simulation of locked rotor conditions and a linear 3D time harmonic eddy current FE analysis has been employed. The obtained results have been compared to 2D analysis and experimental data. The axial flux machine is analyzed under fixed speed conditions and a 3D time‐stepping and velocity eddy current problems are solved to evaluate machine performances. Different design configurations are analyzed in order to define the best solution.
