Design Improvement of a Single-Phase Brushless Permanent Magnet Motor for Small Fan Appliances

In this paper, an adaptation of a shaded pole motor operating as a single-phase brushless PM motor is studied. After properly designing the rotor PM ring to avoid demagnetization problems, a nonlinear mathematical model for performance assessment and design improvement is proposed. The calculation of the model parameters is carried out by 2-D FEM analyses suitably corrected to also take into account 3-D effects, mainly due to different stator and rotor lengths. The procedure implemented in a numerical code makes it possible to investigate significant design aspects and determine the mechanical characteristic related to motor configurations adopted for small fan appliances.
