Abstract :
A method for calculating the reluctance of air gaps in magnetic circuits making use of a Schwarz-Christoffel transformation is described. The method is applied to the calculation of the inductance of example inductor and transformer configurations and its validity established through comparisons with calculations based on the finite-element method of numerical analysis
