To overcome the problem of using low-efficiency and high-precision 3D finite element simulation in axial topology simulation of double skewed induction motor, an equivalent circuit is proposed for the staggered double skewed rotor induction motor (DSRIM) and then the axially layered equivalent circuit of DSRIM is established based on the multi-layer finite element model. Based on the coupling analysis of the equivalent circuit and the magnetic field, the air-gap magnetic field distribution and steady-state performance index are obtained by using the distributed magnetic circuit method. The calculation results are compared with the experimental results, and it is shown that the calculation results of this method have guiding significance.
