Abstract

A new frog-leg winding permanent-magnet (PM) brushless DC motor is proposed in this paper. Besides PM excitation and electric commutation, the motor has a type of mesh winding inherited from the conventional brushed DC motor. With the aid of a position sensor, the new motors operation principle is basically as same as the brushed one. Based on the frog-leg winding configuration of simplex lap and duplex wave, the motor is designed with 4 poles and 22 slots, and the number of phases is set as 11. Furthermore, an exact analytical method for predicting the instantaneous magnetic field, electromotive force (EMF) induced in the armature winding, cogging torque and output torque of the new motor is introduced. Results from this analytical method are compatible with corresponding finite element analyses (FEA).
