Abstract
This paper presents a mixed grade magnet model for surface-inset machines considering the magnet thickness. In the polar coordinates, on the basis of the Laplace/quas i-Poisson equations and boundary conditions, the constructed matrix equations are solved and the air gap magnetic field in the machine is derived. Taking an 8-pole/12-slot surface-inset motor as an example, through the presented optimization process, the air gap field is optimized considering the magnet thickness, remanence and magnetization angle. In addition, the back-EMF and electromagnetic torque are analytically obtained. The optimized results show that the proposed mixed grade magnet model has larger electromagnetic torque and smaller torque ripple than the conventional one. Finally, the analytical predictions are evaluated by finite element analysis (FEA).
