Abstract :
Numerical procedures were developed for the calculation and design optimization of claw-pole alternators. Based on a three-dimensional (3D) magnetostatic field computation, the output performance, efficiency, local and global forces are computed and compared to measurements. The precalculation of a claw-pole alternator is presented based on the example of a prototype with additional permanent magnets
