Abstract

In this paper an analytical method for designing DRPM machine is presented. As well known, DRPM machine has high efficiency, high torque density and can be used as Electric Vehicle Drive and so on, thus developing a simple and accurate analytical method is necessary. The aim of this paper is to calculate the air-gap flux density taking into account the harmonics of the winding current, the winding type and the influence of radial and parallel magnetized magnets. A magnetic equivalent circuit of DRPM machine is developed, and both inner and outer magnet circuits are analyzed separately. Compared with finite-element method (FEM), the analytical method gets an accurate result.
