| Summary: | Abstract This article proposes an equivalent magnetic network (EMN) model to improve the accuracy of electromagnetic analysis, where a modular modelling of hybrid cross‐shaped mesh (CS‐M) elements is introduced. By applying hybrid CS‐M elements, the modelling of air gap and its surrounding regions is regulated into an identical width. As a result, the relative motion of the motor is simpler to simulate by changing the nodal connection without involving the non‐linear permeance. The airgap flux density is solved more accurately than the regular CS‐M elements as well. A 12‐slot/10‐pole ferrite permanent magnet (FPM) motor with assisted poles of unequal pole‐arc ratios is selected as an example to be built with the proposed EMN model. After solving the EMN model, the effectiveness and accuracy of the proposed EMN model are verified by comparing it with the FEA model and experiments. Additionally, based on the frozen permeability (FP) method, transient torque components can be separated accurately with a transient torque solution related to virtual work principle (VWP) for the EMN model. |
