Abstract
Litz wires, which are utilized to suppress eddy current, often have complex structures. This paper presents a partial element equivalent circuit (PEEC)-based 3D model for Litz wires with round conductor. The model accounts for both transverse and longitudinal magnetic fields. The discretization of the Litz wire is based on cylindrical elements resulting in a reduced number of elements. Cylindrical element analysis is based on a 2D analytical method. The proposed model is compared with 3D FEM, which shows the model has good accuracy and fast computational speed. It is promising to facilitate Litz wires optimization.
