This paper proposes a novel electromagnetic modelling method, with experimental study of the magnetic can-shield effect, based on a novel canned switched reluctance machine. Such model considers the characteristic electromagnetic coupling relation between magnetic flux and eddy current on cans, with harmonic analysis by analytical calculation in vector form. The model is structured with multiple concentrated layers in cylindrical coordinate and the main modeling process includes domain solution of the magnetic field, and an energy vector deduction for loss and energy. Comparative measurement with an indirect method demonstrates the electromagnetic features by the use of cans and meanwhile verifies the analytical model.
