Abstract

Conventional flux-switching permanent magnet brushless machines (PMFSM) gained a lot of attraction due to their high torque densities, simple and robust rotor structure, and the permanent magnets and coils on the stator. The sandwich PMFSM machine has been proposed to improve the torque density of the machine in which two PM pieces are sandwiched in one stator pole to enhance the PMs usage efficiency. 2D finite element analysis (2DFEA) method is employed to compare the performance of sandwich PMFSM with salient rotor topology with that of sandwich PMFSM with modular rotor, in terms of flux linkage, flux distribution, flux strengthening, induced back EMF, cogging torque and average torque. From the results it is shown that the salient sandwich PMFSM and sandwich PMFSM modular rotor produces 9.28Nm and 6.7Nm, respectively.
