Abstract :
The leakage flux and resultant eddy current loss in the frame of a flux-switching permanent magnet (FSPM) motor was investigated by 2D time-domain finite element analysis and validated experimentally. This paper presents predicted and measured results for eddy current loss in the frame during both low speed, constant torque operation and high speed, constant power (flux-weakening) operation.
