Abstract

Based on the subdomain field model accounting for tooth-tips, the force distribution and unbalanced magnetic force of surface-mounted PM machines are analytically calculated respectively for open-circuit only, armature reaction only and on-load. The finite element results confirm that the developed model has excellent accuracy, while the complex permeance model shows a large error in the predicted unbalanced magnetic force and lowest spatial order harmonic of the force distribution, especially on light load.
