Comparison of PM brushless motors, having either all teeth or alternate teeth wound

The electromagnetic performance of three-phase permanent magnet brushless motors in which the slot and pole numbers are similar and either all the teeth or only alternate teeth carry a concentrated coil is compared. Analytical and finite element techniques are employed to predict the air-gap flux density distribution, the cogging torque, electromotive force (EMF) and static torque waveforms, and the winding inductances, predicted results being validated by measurements. It is shown that there is a significant difference in both the phase and line EMF waveforms, the static torque-rotor position waveforms, and the self and mutual inductances.
