Analysis and evaluation of novel rotor permanent magnet flux-switching machine for EV and HEV applications

To relieve the serious saturation in stator teeth of stator-permanent-magnet flux-switching (SPM-FS) machines due to the co-existence of magnets and armature windings in stator, this study proposes and analyses a novel rotor-permanent magnet flux-switching (RPM-FS) brushless machine. Different from the conventional SPM-FS machines, the magnets are removed from stator to rotor, and magnetised in a ...
