Abstract
This paper describes the development of a multidisc AFPM generator type namely the double sided internal stator. This generator consists of one stator disc with two surface sides placed in the middle between two rotor discs. 18 permanent magnet poles are placed in one rotor disc while 9 three-phase windings with 1450 turns per-winding are placed in one surface side of the stator disc. The laboratory test results show that three-phase sinusoidal voltage magnitude in range of 79 – 150 V (phase to neutral) is generated for 219 – 402 rpm of rotor speed. In its nominal speed i.e. 333 rpm, a 124.8 V, 50 Hz, three-phase sinusoidal voltage is generated with only 1.6% THD in average and 0°, −124°, −240° phase angles. Comparison with another type of multidisc AFPM generator namely the double sided internal rotor shows that the developed AFPM generator can produce an output voltage that is almost 2.5 times higher. Nevertheless, both generators are able to generate a relatively balance three-phase sinusoidal voltage with low THD value.
