Abstract :
This paper investigates the existing structures of transverse flux machines (TFMs) that can be constructed as an outer rotor in-wheel motor which is suitable for low speed applications. As the main characteristic of TFM is providing the best torque density at low speeds, it would be a suitable choice and having a great future for low speed mobile platforms. Different structures of TFM are re-designed as outer rotor motors with the same diameter, axial length and pole number and they undergo a comparison study through the use of three dimensional (3D) finite element method (FEM). The simulations have been done via Flux3D software from Cedrat. An analytical study of the TFMs is done in terms of highest torque production capability and design optimisation.
