In the paper a comparison between the analytical and numerical method of no‐load computation will be made taking into account the initial hypothesis and computational effort face to the concrete obtainable results. It is concluded that the reduced fixed‐mesh FEM analysis of the induction motors is very suitable for no‐load computation because it relates directly to the well known equivalent circuit parameters. The symmetry of the machine allows for the computation only on a small part of the magnetic circuit so that the time of computation can be reduced even when a relatively fine mesh is used. However, for the optimal design of the motor it appears that analytical methods are very suitable owing to the simplicity and accuracy of the design.
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.
