Description/Abstract

The paper introduces a network description of conducting regions in electrical machines. Resistance models are considered, where loop equations are equivalent to an edge element formulation (EEM) using the electric vector potential T, as well as conductance models, for which the nodal equations refer to a nodal element description (NEM) by means of the scalar potential V. For the field of conducting currents the edge value of the vector potential T is interpreted using the language of circuit theory. The network models of simply connected conducting regions are introduced. The models under discussion relate to the method with an electric scalar potential V and a magnetic vector potential A and to the methods using an electric vector potential T and magnetic scalar OMEGA and vector A potentials.
