Modified scalar potential finite element solution for electrical machine field problems

A new method titled “Modified Scalar Potential Method”, for solving magnetostatic problems in electrical machinery and devices, is presented. This technique, like the reduced scalar potential method, results in a mathematically unique and computationally efficient solution, and in addition yields a more accurate solution than its predecessors. The method is applied to 2D and axisymmetric problems and the results are compared with those of other methods where feasible
