Abstract:
This paper presents the design and experimental verifications of a three-phase, outer-rotor, dual-stator, wound-field flux switching machine for in-wheel traction applications. The design process began with performance comparisons of various stator-rotor combinations for a conventional one-stator design. A motor with 12-stator slot and 7-rotor pole was selected because it demonstrated performance superior to that of the other topologies. The motor dimensions were designed on the basis of a sensitivity analysis of several main parameters. The radial magnetic force on the shaft was investigated, and a novel dual-stator motor structure was implemented to reduce this force. The design was verified using 3-D FEA, with the results showing that the radial force could be reduced to near-zero levels at all rotor angles whereas the motor torque remained almost unchanged. The experimental results verify that the prototype motor satisfied the design requirements.
