Abstract

The design of the magnetic circuit of permanent magnet machines differs from that of conventional wound field machines mainly due to the low magnetic permeability of the magnets. A two-dimensional field analysis is presented which takes the magnet leakage, the distribution of magnet MMF along its height, and the changing magnet width into consideration. The fundamental component of flux calculated by the model is compared with results obtained by finite element analysis for different magnet configurations covering a practical range of magnet dimensions. A comparison of machine performance predicted using this method with test results is also given.
