| Abstract: | Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to compare the performance of conventional, novel E- and C-core switched-flux permanent magnet (SFPM) machines having different combinations of stator and rotor pole numbers, with particular reference to the conductor and magnet eddy current loss and iron loss. Design/methodology/approach – The electromagnetic performance of the analysed machines is compared using the finite element (FE) analysis. Findings – Both iron and conductor eddy current losses increase with the rotor pole number, while the 11- and 13-rotor pole machine always exhibit lower magnet eddy current loss than those of the 10- and 14-rotor pole machines, respectively. The E- and C-core machines use half the number and volume of magnets and also exhibit higher efficiency than those of the conventional SFPM machine. Originality/value – Investigation of the influence of stator and rotor pole combinations on the performances of conventional, novel E- and C-core SFPM machines, include losses and efficiency. |
