Abstract

This paper presents an analytical prediction and experimental verification of the electromagnetic performance of a parallel magnetized surface-mounted permanent magnet (SPM) motor having a fractional number of slots per pole combination. On the basis of a two-dimensional (2-D) polar coordinate system and a magnetic vector potential, analytical solutions for flux density produced by the permanent magnets (PMs) and stator windings are derived. Then, analytical solutions for back-electromotive force (emf) and electromagnetic torque are derived from these field solutions. The analytical results are thoroughly validated with 2-D nonlinear finite element (FE) analysis results. Finally, the experimental back-emf and electromagnetic torque measurements are presented to test the validity of the analysis.
