Galerkin implementations of the method of moments (MoM) of the electric-field integral equation (EFIE) have been traditionally carried out with divergence-conforming sets. The normal-continuity constraint across edges gives rise to cumbersome implementations around junctions for composite objects and to less accurate implementations of the combined field integral equation (CFIE) for closed sharp-edged conductors. We present a new MoM-discretization of the EFIE for closed conductors based on the nonconforming monopolar-RWG set, with no continuity across edges. This new approach, which we call
