Abstract

The objective of this chapter is to analyze/present the different types and flux patterns of electric machines. These flux distributions are based on numerical solutions [1–5]. Moreover, to discuss the techniques and approximations involved in reducing the physical machine to a simple mathematical model and to give some simple concepts relating to the basic machine types.
