Abstract :
The computation of end winding reactance using a 3-D finite element program is presented. The program used is FLUX3D, which takes into account the exact geometry of the machine and the 3-D distribution of the flux density. Special attention is focused on induction machines. Different windings are analyzed and, when available, experimental results are compared against computed values. The comparison shows very good agreement between the two values
