Permanent magnet synchronous machines generate parasitic torque pulsations owing to distortion of the stator flux linkage distribution, variable magnetic reluctance at the stator slots, and secondary phenomena. The consequences are speed oscillations which, although small in magnitude, deteriorate the performance of the drive in demanding applications. The parasitic effects are analysed and mod...

Permanent magnet synchronous motor(PMSM) is a exceedingly efficient motor and is successfully operated in a wide range of speed. Various types of permanent magnet synchronous motors are accessible in the market offering advantages of direct on line starting as induction motor and effectively running on synchronous speed. Major disadvantages of PMSM is uncertainty of successfully synchronization...

Accurate thermal analysis of axial flux permanent magnet (AFPM) machines is crucial in predicting maximum power output. Stator convective heat transfer is one of the most important and least investigated heat transfer mechanisms and is the focus of this paper. Experimental measurements were undertaken using a thin-film electrical heating method, providing radially resolved steady state heat tra...
