The paper shows how the Newton-Raphson algorithm can be applied to the solution of nonlinear field problems in which the current sources and potentials are complex. The use of the method is illustrated with reference to the steady-state operation of a single-phase induction motor. Convergence is shown to be rapid, even under conditions of excessive saturation.
