Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to present the vector magnetic properties of the electrical steel sheet and investigate its influences on the magnetic field and iron loss distributions for the electrical machines. Design/methodology/approach – The vector magnetic property of the electrical steel sheet is measured by using a two-dimensional single sheet tester and modelled through an E&S vector hysteresis model to be applied to finite element analysis. Findings – The magnetic field and iron loss distributions are calculated by finite element analysis combined with the E&S vector hysteresis model for the three-phase transformer and induction motor models. Originality/value – The influences of the vector magnetic property on the electrical machines are verified by comparing with the numerical results from a scalar magnetic property.

At high AC field strength, BH loop tends to twist slightly near the tip point. It results in apparent decrease of iron loss because the overturned parts introduce negative iron loss value. In order to correct this error the phase difference between flux density and magnetic field strength needs to be eliminated. We studied on the problem and got satisfactory results.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to propose a two-dimensional (2-D) hybrid analytical model (HAM) in polar coordinates, combining a 2-D exact subdomain (SD) technique and magnetic equivalent circuit (MEC), for the magnetic field calculation in electrical machines at no-load and on-load conditions. Design/methodology/approach In this paper, the proposed technique is applied to dual-rotor permanent magnet (PM) synchronous machines. The magnetic field is computed by coupling an exact analytical model (AM), based on the formal resolution of Maxwell’s equations applied in subdomains, in regions at unitary relative permeability with a MEC, using a nodal-mesh formulation (i.e. Kirchhoff's current law), in ferromagnetic regions. The AM and MEC are connected in both directions (i.e. r- and theta-edges) of the (non-)periodicity direction (i.e. in the interface between teeth regions and all its adjacent regions as slots and/or air-gap). To provide accurate solutions, the current density distribution in slot regions is modeled by using Maxwell’s equations instead to MEC and characterized by an equivalent magnetomotive force (MMF) located in the slots, teeth and yoke. Findings It is found that whatever the iron core relative permeability, the developed HAM gives accurate results for both no-load and on-load conditions. Finite element analysis demonstrates the excellent results of the developed technique. Originality/value The main objective of this paper is to achieve a direct coupling between the AM and MEC in both directions (i.e. r- and theta-edges). The current density distribution is modeled by using Maxwell’s equations instead to MEC and characterized by an MMF.
