A 10MeV, 5-10mA 4-sector compact proton cyclotron, is being developed at VECC. A 2.45 GHz microwave ion source will produce ~30mA of proton beam at 100keV. It will be bunched and injected axially in the central region of the cyclotron where a spiral inflector will place the beam on the proper orbit. Two delta type resonators located in the opposite valleys will be used for providing acceleration to the beam. Beam will be extracted using an electrostatic deflector. The main aim of this project is to study and settle various physics and technological problems associated with the handling of high intensity beams. In this paper we present the results of design studies of the main magnet. The conceptual dimensions of the magnet and the properties of equilibrium orbits were first obtained using hard edge approximations and matrix method. The primary size of the magnet was estimated using 2D POISSON code. Finally a 3D code was utilized for the field calculation and optimization. The profile of magnet sectors was optimized to get the desired values of isochronous field and the betatron tunes.
