Abstract:
This paper reports the design, performance analysis,
fabrication, and experimental results of a three-phase, three-stack
permanent magnet transverse flux motorwith a soft magnetic composite
stator core, which was designed to take advantage of the
unique properties of the new material. Parameter computations
by finite element analysis of the magnetic field and performance
prediction by the equivalent electric circuit are discussed. To validate
the simulation, a prototype motor has been fabricated and
operated with a sensorless, brushless direct coupler drive scheme.
The experimental results are thoroughly presented and agree with
the theoretical calculations very well.
