The use of empirically determined coefficients to include the effects leakage and fringing flux is a large drawback traditional induction motor (IM) models, such as lumped parameter, magnetic equivalent circuit anisotropic layer models. As an alternative, Finite Element Analysis (FEA) often used determine field distribution accurately, although at cost much longer computation time. A good alternative FEA, both in terms time accuracy, harmonic modeling. Therefore, this work, previously...
