Abstract

Permanent magnet synchronous motors for electric vehicles should meet three criteria: high maximum torque, high efficiency at low torque, and constant output in a wide speed range. However, meeting these criteria has come with a trade-off in terms of the magnitude of the field magnetic flux. We propose a consequent-pole-PM-type axial-gap motor with ferrite PMs and field windings, which has structure variable field magnetic flux. In order to examine the operational characteristics of the proposed motor, we produced and tested a prototype. Experimental results show that the proposed structure meets all of the three criteria above.
