this paper represents the performance of a squirrel-cage high temperature superconducting induction/ synchronous motor (hts-ism) based on nonlinear electrical equivalent circuit. the structure of the hts-ism is the same as that of the squirrel-cage type induction machine, and the secondary windings are fabricated by the use of the hts wires. it has already been shown that based on the experimen...

In many machines, where permanent magnets are used, the effects due to cogging torque generated by permanent magnets (PMs) aggravate the output characteristics of the machines. This paper presents the method for reducing cogging torque in surface-mounted permanent magnet synchronous motor (SPMSM). A new cogging torque suppression method called axial pole pairing is proposed. Compared to convent...

A novel approach of shape optimization to reduce pulsating torque components in spoke type permanent magnet motors is developed in this paper. This method is demonstrated on the iron pole shape optimization of an 8-pole/18-slot spoke type motor. The results of experiments show the effectiveness of the presented method.
