Abstract
This paper provides a comprehensive analysis of performance difference among various kinds of flux reversal permanent magnet (FRPM) machines having different permanent magnet (PM) arrangements. Four PM arrangement types are, first, identified by the number and relative polarities of PMs on the stator teeth, and their influence on the equivalent pole-pair number of the armature winding and working harmonics of the air-gap field is revealed. Then, the torque variation against the rotor pole number of each PM arrangement is analyzed. The electromagnetic performance of four PM arrangements with a 14-pole rotor is compared in detail. It shows that the FRPM machine, in which four PM pieces are mounted on each stator tooth and two adjacent magnets on different stator teeth are of opposite polarities, offers the highest torque density and the highest efficiency, which make it promising in low-speed high-torque applications. In addition, four prototype machines are manufactured and tested to validate the findings.
