Finite element analysis of hysteresis motor using the vector magnetization-dependent model

This paper presents a finite element analysis procedure combined with a vector hysteresis model for the accurate analysis of an hysteresis motor. The vector magnetization-dependent model is adopted to calculate the vector magnetization of the hysteresis ring. From the magnitude and direction of the magnetic field intensity, the magnetization of each ring element is calculated by the vector model. By comparing the simulation results with experimental data, it is found that the proposed method gives good results.
