Winding Function Analysis Technique as an Efficient Method for Electromagnetic Inductance Calculation

Abstract

Electromagnetic inductance calculation is very important in electrical engineering field. This paper presents the winding function analysis technique (WFA) as a simple tool for inductance calculation. In this paper, the WFA has been carried on a doubly salient structure and the results have been compared to the finite element (FEM) results. The obtained results have shown a good agreement between the WFA and the FEM which ensures the possibility for the use of the WFA for electromagnetic calculations.
