A basic, fast, and accurate steady-state finite-element analysis (FEA) based parameter and performance calculation method for the wound-rotor induction motor is presented. The method couples the circuit equations with field equations using the principle of frozen permeabilities to present the voltage-fed induction motor. The effects of saturation saliency and cross-magnetization are accurately taken into account. The method is verified by direct comparison with the current- and torque-slip frequency curves obtained from a commercial FEA package.
