            Abstract : 
A 3D magnetic equivalent circuit model is developed to predict the total excitation flux of an homopolar hybrid excitation synchronous machines. It is established using the main flux path and a part of the magnets leakage flux´s path. This model takes into account the lamination effect and ferromagnetic parts reluctances. Results from the model are compared with finite-element predictions and the obtained results are similar.
