Periodic Steady State Solution of Voltage-Driven Magnetic Devices

The transient simulation of a magnetic machine often requires simulating much more than one period in order to obtain the steady state behavior. This paper presents a method to bypass this start-up transient in order to arrive quickly at low desired steady state waveform, using a time-domain approach. The method is particularly useful for three-phase machines, but as presented here is restricted to devices with no eddy currents
