Abstract
Concentric winding has been widely used in small capacity AC motors due to its excellent performance. In this paper, a numerical calculation method based on the magnetic vector potential is proposed to calculate the stator end leakage reactance of concentric winding. In this case, the basic unit of numerical calculation becomes the coil group rather than the coil since concentric windings have different coil sizes. The calculated stator end leakage reactance of a prototype three-phase permanent magnet machine with concentric winding is validated using the finite element method. Compared to 3D electromagnetic field calculation, the proposed method does not require a complex modeling process and is therefore highly efficient computationally, requiring only a fraction of the calculation time.
