Abstract

Design rules of multiple multiphase winding configurations are investigated from the perspective of phase shift between adjacent winding sets in flux-switching permanent magnet (FSPM) machines. The relations between torque/rectified voltage and phase shift for any multiple multiphase winding topology are theoretically derived, directly showing the influence of phase shift on torque/rectified voltage harmonic components. It can be learned that the optimal phase shift for the lowest torque ripple and dc voltage oscillation depends on the winding types. Symmetrical winding is not always appropriate for any occasion. To verify the analytical results, the static characteristics of the dual three-phase, four three-phase, triplex three-phase, dual six-phase, and triplex four-phase FSPM machines with specific stator/rotor-pole combinations are studied by finite-element (FE) analysis. The FE-predicted dominant torque ripple and rectified voltage pulsation components for symmetrical and asymmetric phase shifts are in good agreement with the theoretical derivation. Prototypes are built and tested to verify the analytical and FE results.
