Nonlinear Modeling of Eddy-Current Couplers

Analytical models play an important role in the design of electromagnetic devices by providing computationally efficient solutions. In this paper, by combining magnetic equivalent circuit approaches and Faraday’s and Ampere’s laws, a model for radial-flux eddy-current couplers is developed, which can easily handle complex geometries as well as account for iron saturation, all material prope…
