TY - JOUR N1 - cited By 0; Conference of 2012 3rd International Conference on Manufacturing Science and Technology, ICMST 2012 ; Conference Date: 18 August 2012 Through 19 August 2012; Conference Code:95057 Y1 - 2013/// N2 - Thermal stress points in an inductor can cause insulation deterioration and ageing, leading to winding faults, while high magnetic flux causes interference. In this paper, the thermal and magnetic behaviors of inductors with different winding geometries are investigated using the Finite Element Method (FEM) based on 2-Dimension and 3-Dimension model of an inductor. Inductors with different winding geometries have different thermal envelopes and the geometry with the slowest thermal transition has fewer thermal stress points potentially reducing winding faults at the conductor. Furthermore, slow thermal transition would result in greater magnetic field coverage with no magnetic flux outside boundary of the inductor. © (2013) Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland.
