This paper presents a review on the research conducted on the application of BEM to familiarize the researchers with the capabilities of BEM for the study of these devices. This includes the works on both electromagnetic and acoustical studies of the electric motors, generators, actuators, and power transformers. This review shows that BEM is an effective tool for the noise calculation of these apparatuses, while the hybrid BEM-FEM method is the most appreciated choice for their electromagnetic modeling.
