Abstract

In this paper, a high-speed permanent magnet (HSPM) motor having 6-slot/2-pole (6s/2p) number combination and 2 coil-pitch windings are developed for domestic appliance application. Two HSPM motors with different layouts of 2 coil-pitch windings are optimized and their electromagnetic performances are evaluated. The best winding configuration is then identified for shorter motor axial length and larger torque density. Since 3-slot/2-pole (3s/2p) HSPM motors with non-overlapping windings have the same winding factor, a comparison between 3-slot and 6-slot motors is also conducted, particularly for torque density, losses, and unbalanced magnetic force (UMF). It shows that 6s/2p PM motors with 2 coil-pitch windings are suitable for high-speed application without UMF and less rotor PM loss. Finite element predicted electromagnetic performances are validated by experiments made on two prototype motors.
