Abstract

The calculation of the power factor and the electromagnetic force of a transverse flux generator with the use of three-dimensional finite element analysis is presented in this paper. At first, the analysis is performed for two different single-phase transverse flux topologies. The influence of the dimensions in the peripheral plane on the force production and power factor is estimated. The power factor is calculated by three different methods and results are compared. The alternative way to estimate the electromagnetic force based on the static simulations is described as well.
