Abstract
In this paper the authors present a two-step algorithm for predicting the core losses in an electrical machine. As a first step, the flux patterns in the cross section of the machine are calculated by using a time stepped two-dimensional finite element (FE) model, neglecting hysteresis and eddy currents in the laminated core. The second step consists in enforcing the calculated tooth and yoke flux waveforms to a one-dimensional FE lamination model in which the variation along the thickness of the induction and of the induced eddy currents is considered. The hysteretic behavior of the ferromagnetic material is taken into account by, means of a rate-dependent Preisach model. The outlined procedure is applied to a 3 kW squirrel-cage induction motor with either open or closed rotor slots, the former yielding elevated flux harmonics. Computation results and measurements at no-load (phase currents, stator tooth flux, and total iron losses) are compared.
