Multi-circular flux motor

Abstract The paper introduces a new type of electrical machines which has significantly high output torque. The toothed-rotor in the conventional electrical machine is replaced by a multi-circular rotor to increase the saliency and to shorten the flux loops consequently the output torque increases. The paper presents the design steps of this new type of electrical machine and also examines its performance. In addition, the paper compares the percentage increase in output torque from the proposed new electric machine to its equivalent conventional motor. Then the paper proceeds to discuss the relation between the switching on angle and the maximum speed, the torque ripples, and the efficiency.
