Abstract

ABSTRACT This study presents a Support Vector Regression (SVR)–based framework for predicting the maximum coil height in various slot geometries of rotary electric machines. Five practical slot forms were modeled using key geometric parameters, and a dataset was generated to reflect realistic dimensional ranges encountered in industrial machine design. The proposed SVR model, trained using MATLAB with 20-fold cross-validation, achieved excellent predictive performance (R² = 0.9998, RMSE = 0.021), demonstrating near-perfect agreement between predicted and true values. Residual trends, parity plots, and Shapley-value–based feature importance analysis confirmed the accuracy and physical consistency of the model, with slot-depth parameters (h3, h4) identified as the most influential predictors. The results show that the proposed approach provides a fast, reliable, and computationally efficient alternative to repeated numerical simulations, enabling rapid evaluation and optimization of different slot forms.
