Abstract

This paper presents the design and analysis of a three-phase three-stack permanent magnet claw pole motor with soft magnetic composite (SMC) stator core. 3D finite element analysis (FEA) of magnetic field is performed to accurately calculate key motor parameters and performance. Combined optimization techniques and 3D FEA with increasing accuracy are applied to effectively reduce the computational time. The designed motor has been fabricated and tested. The theoretical calculations are validated by the experimental results on the prototype.
