Abstract:
This paper compares two types of threedimensional
(3D) flux electrical machines with soft magnetic
composite (SMC) cores, namely claw pole and transverse flux
machines. 3D electromagnetic field analysis is conducted for the
computation of some important parameters and optimization of
the machine structures. An Equivalent electric circuit is derived
to calculate the machine performances. The analysis methods are
validated by experimental results of a single phase claw pole
permanent magnet machine with a SMC core. Useful conclusions
are drawn from the evaluation and comparison of two machines
with soft magnetic composite cores.
