A model reduction method for finite element analysis such as the zooming analysis is conducted to calculate the AC copper loss of high speed electric machines. In this paper, the accuracy of the zooming method is validated by comparison with thorough analysis and the calculation speed in the zooming analysis is found to increase by 7.8 times that of thorough analysis.Moreover, the zooming method is applied to the analysis of the copper loss of a litz wire with respect to an interior permanent magnet motor rotating at high speed. The copper loss of the litz wire could be calculated within a practical computation time.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
