Abstract

Surface-mounted permanent magnet (SPM) machines with skewed slots as vehicle drives are widely used. Due to skewed slots, electromagnetic characteristics are modulated by the skew effect. To analyze the skew effect, Maxwell’s equations-based 3-D analytical model is proposed. Based on differences in 3-D air-gap flux density distribution, the mechanism by which the skew effect modulates cogging torque, flux linkage, and back electromotive force (EMF) is investigated. The effectiveness of the theory about the skew effect is verified by both the finite element method (FEM) and the experimental result.
