This paper presents an air gap model for thin air gaps using the magnetostatic volume integral method. The thin air gap is considered as a surface region with a numerical treatment instead of a volume region to avoid having a thin mesh that could lead to long computations. An application to a current transformer is reported to show its accuracy.
