This paper deals with adaptive meshingin the case of time dependent problems within a 3Dnon linear multi-static approximation.In order to evaluate the numerical errors, the notionof ligurian is introduced. This estimator requiresa couple of admissible fields. A method forthe determination of this last couple is exposed.At least, on a three-phased transformer,we highlight the difficulties of thecalculation of a well adapted error distributionfor adaptive meshing.Three methods are exposed and compared.
