description | In order to achieve the optimal stator–rotor combinations of conventional flux-switching permanent magnet (FSPM) machines, this paper proposes and analyzes a general principle with prime phase numbers. Based on the coil complementarity concept, the proposed methodology specifically addresses the phase symmetry of back electromotive force (back-EMF) and electromagnetic torque optimization, with comprehensive analysis conducted for two-phase, three-phase, and five-phase configurations. Firstly, the coil-EMF vectors and the concept of coil pairs of conventional FSPM machines are introduced. Then, based on the coil-EMF vectors, an analytical model determining the stator pole and rotor teeth combinations is proposed. Further, the combinations for conventional FSPM machines with prime phase numbers are synthesized and summarized on the basis of the results obtained by the proposed model. To validate the model and combination principles, the FSPM machines satisfying the principles have been verified to exhibit a symmetrical phase back-EMF waveform by finite element analysis (FEA) and experiments on prototypes. In addition, the winding factors of the conventional FSPM machines with different stator pole and rotor teeth combinations are calculated. |
