Design Study of 3-phase Field-Excitation Flux Switching Motor with Outer-Rotor Configuration

This paper proposes a design of outer-rotor field-excitation flux switching motor(FEFSM) with a topology of 12-slot and 10-pole configuration(12/10) for electric vehicle as a low-cost of non-Permanent Magnet (PM) machine for HEV drives. Design study, performance analysis of field-excitation flux switching machine with 35H210 earth magnet for electric vehicle drive applicationsis done. The stator of the machine comprised of iron core (electromagnetic steels), armature coils and field excitation coils as the only mmf source. While the rotor is comprise of stack of iron only, it is reliable and appropriate for high speed operation. Feasibility design studies on FEFSM based on 2D-Finite Element analysis will be applied to the proposed machine design.
