Abstract :
In this paper a weighted formula method is used to compute the 3-D frequency-dependent inductance and resistance. Every conductor is partitioned into a set of filaments, and the inductance between conductors can be computed through computing the weighted average inductance between filaments. Theory analysis and numerical results show that this method can greatly decrease computing time compared with FastHenry without much loss of accuracy.
