Like Keith was saying, it is generally perfectly reasonable for the self
inductances to be larger than
the mutual inductance because of slot leakage, which bumps up the self
inductance, but doesn't increase
the mutual.
Anyhow, there are a couple of other things you should also think about with
your geometry. Each of the
coil regions has all wires being members of either the "estator superior"
or "estator inferior"
circuits. Defining things this way makes things behave like a single big
multi-stranded conductor (i.e.
driven in parallel), rather than a bunch of turns that are driven in
series. Is this what you intended?
Also, I'm guessing that this is part of a motor that you're modeling.
However, the domain that you are
modeling and the currents that you've defined don't make much sense to me.
Could you take sort of a
step back and say something about the machine that you are trying to model
and what result you are
trying to obtain? Then, it would be easier for me to say something useful.
Dave.
