Magnetic field analysis of claw-pole type generator using equivalent circuit is presented in this paper. On the basis of 3D geometry and flux paths, equivalent magnetic circuit is designed and field analysis is performed by solving the circuit. Non-linear characteristic of material is considered for precise analysis results. 3D FEA is performed to verify analysis results, and flux densities in rotor and stator regions are compared. Calculated no-load back emf for field input voltage and speed are verified by experiment. Comparing to 3D FEA, presented method provides precise results with instant calculation time.

In this paper, the equivalent magnetic circuit and FEM are used to calculate force density of linear BLDC motor. The equivalent magnetic circuit is hard to exact compose for analysis model and it is just applied to linear system. To flexible design and reducing the calculated and analyzed time, magnetic circuit has to be used for designing the linear BLDC motor and deducing equation of force density. Force density as parameter of permanent magnet and coil-side width that are important to determined force density can be estimated using equation of force density. FEM is used to prove reliability of equation of force density and to consider the nonlinear system. Equivalent magnetic circuit and result of FEM are similar, but it is little different by friction loss at the experiment.

Retrieving the equivalent electromagnetic parameters (permittivity and permeability) plays an important role in the research and application of metamaterials. Frequency dispersion of magnetic permeability has been theoretically predicted in a metamaterial composed of cut wire pairs (CWP) separated by dielectric substrate on the basis of circuit theory. Magnetic resonance resulting from antiparallel currents between the CWP is observed at the frequency of minimum reflection loss (corresponding to absorption peak) and effective resonator size can be determined. Having calculated the circuit parameters (inductance L, capacitance C) and resonance frequency from CWP dimension, the frequency dispersion of permeability of Lorentz like magnetic response can be predicted. The simulated resonance frequency and permeability spectra can be explained well on the basis of the circuit theory of an RLC resonator.

This paper focuses on understanding the interrupting capability of an arc contact system in a molded case circuit breaker (hereafter MCCB). We selected four types of MCCBs and analyzed the magnetic flux density distributions in the contact systems caused by the fault currents. We ascertained that the magnetic flux density profile varies according to the shape of the contact system and was asymmetric at both the ends of an arc, perpendicular to the arc column because of the magnetic grid installed in the contact system. The asymmetric difference creates a magnetic force that pushes the arc current outwards and provides an interrupting capability. We have introduced a simple analysis method for determining the interrupting capability of the contact system for an MCCB by the arc-driving magnetic flux density.

This paper presents the analysis of the rotor of a synchronous reluctance motor(RSM) using the magnetic circuit that is attained from the flux path. In order to design the rotor of RSM, the magnetic circuit method can determine results of motor characteristics more quickly than when using to the finite element method. Here, the proposed magnetic circuit method for designing the rotor is verified by comparing results when using finite element method.

This paper presents the characteristics of Switched Reluctance Motor (SRM) based on 3D Equivalent Magnetic Circuit Network Method (3D EMCNM). 3D EMCNM supplements magnetic equivalent circuit by numerical technique using distributive magnetic circuit parameters. However in case of SRM the previous 3D EMCNM which uses fan shape element is not proper for analysis. This paper solved this problem by developing the trapezoid element and verified the validity of the suggested element by comparing the results of 3D EMCNM with 2D FEM.

This paper presents the characteristic simulation of PM-type magnetic circuit breaker with the 2D finite element magnetic field solution including non-linearity of the material and an eddy current. Change of dynamic characteristic of the actuator is quantified from the finite element analysis. The results obtained from a commercial finite element analysis software are compared with those calculated from the developed finite element analysis software. A new modified model to decrease the eddy current is proposed. The characteristics of the two models are compared.

Although Equvalent Magnetic Circuit (EMC) method. Using lumped parameter and numerical analysis method are widely used for electric machine analysis. these are neither always accurate enough nor sometimes available to easily use. Moreover three dimensional finite element method (3D-FEM) is inherently unsuitable for electric machine performance evaluation due to its poor computational efficiency, such as too long calculation time and difficulty in modeling for analysis. In this paper, Nonlinear Equivalent Magnetic Circuit (NEMC) method in combination with 2D-FEM is proposed to analyze the electric machine requiring 3D-FEM, and this method applys to torque evaluation for rotary actuator of Electro Magnetic Electronic Controller Power Steering (EM-ECPS).

This paper presents modeling of an inductive micro position sensing system and its analysis. The parameters affected the system response are excitation frequency, turn ratio, input position, air-gap size, load resistance, and geometric dimensions. To analyze the system, we try to establish a modeling based on an equivalent magnetic circuit with permeances. The model is verified by the experimental results from 1 kHz to 20 kHz. The magnetic circuit model is well fitted to the experimental data except a little error due to LC resonance in the large turn-ratio system. Modeling enables us to theoretically approach the response characteristics. Based on the magnetic circuit model, system parameters can be selected in such a way to obtain the required characteristics such as high sensitivity, good linearity, or small size.
