Abstract

Three finite-element formulations based on different definitions of current density are compared. Formulations I and II are based on incomplete equations for total and source current densities, respectively. Formulation III is based on a complete equation for source current density. To validate the third formulation, a one-dimensional test problem is solved analytically for the magnetic field intensity. The formulations are applied to a nondestructive testing example and a three-phase bus-bar example. Results show that errors due to the use of incomplete equations for current densities increase with frequency and conductor dimensions.
