After the field equations and the continuous conditions beteen the interfaces for 3-D eddy current problems under various gauges were discussed, it was pointed out in this paper that using the vector magnetic potential A, electric scalar potential φ and Coulomb gauge A=0 in eddy current regions and using magnetic scalar potential Ω in the nonconducting regions are more suitable. All field equations, the boundary conditions, the continuous conditions between the interfaces and the corresponding variational principle corresponding with this method are also given.
