Abstract :
This paper proposes a topology of flux-switching machine with dc excitation to improve the field-weakening capability of flux-switching machines. This dc-excited flux-switching machine preserves the structure of typical flux-switching permanent-magnet machines while replacing the permanent magnets with dc field windings. The combined advantages of this type of machine in torque production and field weakening are exhibited and validated by finite element analysis.
