Analytical Model for Permanent Magnet Motor With Slotting Effect, Armature Reaction, and Ferromagnetic Material Property

Among various types of motors, permanent magnet (PM) motors, due to their high energy density, are mainly used for electric-based propulsion systems. In this paper, an improved analytical model for PM motor has been presented. The model considers important factors, such as armature reaction, slotting effect, and influence of non-linear material property on motor's behavior. Moreover, the main contributions of this paper are the representation of stator windings with exact winding width using Fourier series and the consideration of effects of non-linear ferromagnetic material property. Using this model, it is possible to determine air-gap magnetic field, flux linkage, back electromotive force, cogging torque, and electromagnetic torque with high accuracy. Results from the proposed model are compared with other analytical model and also with those from a finite-element analysis (FEA). The results obtained from the proposed method match closely with the FEA.
