Simulation of Electromagnetic Field of a Powerful Electrical Machine by D. I. Hvalin, O. H. Kensytskyi, K. O. Kobzar

“…It is shown that physical modeling makes it possible to evaluate the regularities of the distribution of the electromagnetic field (without obtaining accurate quantitative indicators) and can be used for qualitative comparison of the effectiveness of various design solutions of the end zone of the stator. However, such models have not become widely used, since numerous studies are required to form meaningful and sufficiently detailed conclusions about the parameters and characteristics of the object, the design of the end zone of high-power generators is complex, and the calculation of three-dimensional models is time-consuming and even with modern computer technology is associated with a number of simplifying factors. …”
