Abstract

<p>This paper presents a basic approach to reduce an overall weight of selected PM motor. The approach is not based on normal sizing step by keeping the overall design in symmetry dimension, but by introducing semi-circle stator design. The investigation takes 12-slot/10-pole motor as a subject due to it symmetric winding disposition. Two designs are included, both having identical semi-circle stator but different in rotor configuration. Design 1 has a standard rotor design that equipped with 10-pole while Design 2 has a semi-circle rotor design following the stator design. This inherently result an even number of pole i.e. 5. From the investigation using 2D-Finite Element Analysis, an overall weight in PM motor can be theoretically reduced by having asymmetric design dimension. However, motor torque performance would deteriorate and unwanted noise may exist due to high cogging torque and high output torque ripple. A proper design procedure that includes parameter optimization and intelligent switching for optimum current excitation is required to restore the desired torque.</p>
