Magnetic field analysis of induction motors combining preisach hysteresis modeling and finite element techniques

摘要

This paper deals with the analysis of induction motors based on the magnetic field computation taking the ferromagnetic hysteresis into account. The vector Preisach hysteresis model is integrated in a two-dimensional time-stepping finite element analysis. The interface between the Preisach model and the finite element magnetic vector potential formulation is introduced through the Fixed-Point iterative technique. The developed computational scheme is applied for magnetic field and core loss computation of three cage induction motors.
