Abstract

The objective of this paper is to predetermine the magnetic circuit parameters of an Axial Flux Induction Machine (AFIM) viewed as a de-coiled version of radial flux induction machine. The geometry of AFIM leads to variation in basic design parameters like pole pitch etc. along the radius necessitating a compliant design equation which accommodates such variations. The magnetic circuit is seen as many parallel paths along each slide with varying geometry and the air gap flux is more accurately determined. Results are comparable with 3D-FEA simulation and match the experimental data obtained with a prototype 2.5 kW machine.
