Abstract

This paper describes a reluctance network based dynamic analysis method used in the field of power magnetics, which is called reluctance network analysis (RNA). It is based on the magnetic circuit method and has some advantages for simulating electrical machinery such as a simple analytical model, high calculation accuracy, and easy to combine with an electric circuit, motion and thermal dynamics. First, the basis of the magnetic circuit method is described. Next, two case studies of RNA, one is a permanent magnet (PM) motor and the another is a switched reluctance (SR) motor, are presented.
