Permanent magnet (PM) machines with tooth coil windings are designed and analyzed. We study how the slot wedge material affects the behavior of PM losses when using tooth coil windings, which generate a significant air gap flux density harmonic content. The losses and cogging torques of a surface permanent magnet rotor and an interior permanent magnet rotor are compared in no-load and load situ...

A 2D analytical method for magnetic vector potential calculation in inner rotor surface mounted and surface inset permanent magnet machines considering slotting effects, magnetization orientation and winding layout has been proposed in this paper. The analytical method is based on the resolution of Laplace and Poisson equations as well as Maxwell equation in quasi- Cartesian coordinate by using...

A permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) with rotor embedded segmented permanent magnet was analyzed. The structural features and flux weakening principle are introduced. The shape of the rotor is optimized to get a sinusoidal air gap magnetic density waveform and reduce the toque ripple. The whole-permanent-magnet (PM) motor and the segmented-permanent-magnet motor are compared from the asp...

For the calculationof torque in synchronousmotors a local method is analysed, based on the Maxwell stress theory and the filtered contributions due to the harmonics of the magnetic vector potential in the motor air-gap. By considering the space fundamental field only, the method can efficiently estimate the average synchronous torque for a variety ormotor topologies, including concentratedwindi...

Axial field flux switching motor with sandwiched permanent magnet (AFFSSPM) is a novel of flux switching motor. Based on the vector control method, the mathematical model of the AFFSSPM is derived and the operating performance of the AFFSSPM in the overall operating region is investigated.A novel control method for the AFFSSPM drive system, including the id =0, maximum torque per ampere, consta...
