The problem of electromagnetic field calculation in the end-zone of electrical machines is considered in this paper. A three-dimensional field requires using new methods of computing because the existing methods with the concept of vector potential demand unacceptable computer time. The new method consists of replacing the eddy magnetic field by the potential field of magnetic charges for the calculation of field, forces and associated inductances. Electrical currents of the rotor and stator windings are replaced by magnetic charges. it is possible to use just one scalar potential function for the computation instead of three components of the vector potential. …

The method of scalar magnetic potential using imaginary magnetic charges is employed effectively for the calculation of the electromagnetic fields in superconducting electric machines. The computing model consists of several single layers of magnetic charges. Finite-difference numerical techniques are utilized for the computation. The cylindrical coordinate system has been used for the calculation of the electromagnetic losses inside the electromagnetic shield of the rotor winding. The tangential and axial components of eddy currents have been taken into account. Linear magnetic charges replace rotor and stator currents; and surface magnetic charges replace the eddy currents inside the electromagnetic shield of the …

The concept of scalar potential has been used for magnetic field calculation in the USSR during the last decade. It is based on treating the eddy component of the magnetic field separately and calculating the potential field with the help of the scalar potential by introducing imaginary magnetic charges. This method has been developed for digital calculations of magnetic fields in various electromagnetic devices, by solving linear and nonlinear partial-differential equations through mathematical simulation. This paper presents the mathematical formulation of the method. It is advantageous to use the scalar potential method for two-dimensional eddy-current calculations because of the possibility …

An accurate knowledge of the magnetic as well as other field distributions is of great importance in design optimization. In two dimensional problems with the current flow in only one direction, the magnetic field can be solved by computing a scalar potential or one component of the vector potential, The general formulation for three-dimensional solutions, including nonlinearities, is more complex and requires all three components of the vector potential as well as a scalar potential for the description of the fields. It is the purpose of this paper to present a general systematic, novel formulation at low frequencies feasible for …

On The Interaction Of An Eddy Current Coil With A Right-Angled Conductive Wedge, John R. Bowler, Theodoros Theodoulidis

John R. Bowler

A fundamental problem in eddy-current nondestructive evaluation is one of finding the quasi-static electromagnetic field of a cylindrical coil in the vicinity of the edge of a metal block. Although the field can be calculated numerically, an effective analytical approach can potentially provide a better understanding of the edge fields and form the basis of a procedure for solving a whole class of related edge problems including edge structures that contain corner cracks. One can represent the metal block as a conductive quarter space in an unbounded region. However, it has been found that the analysis is more straightforward if …
