Abstract :
A novel type of mechanically robust buried magnet rotor structure is proposed for medium speed permanent magnet machines. A machine utilizing the construction is built, tested, and compared to another machine with traditional V-shaped poles. The machine is also simulated using finite element method and the results are compared to tested values. The obtained results demonstrate the feasibility of the construction.
