Description
Summary:In this paper, a novel Hybrid Excitation Flux Switching Machine (HE-FSM) with DC-field excitation coil (DC-FEC) wounded in radial direction is proposed. The design is able to generate high torque and power performance because of a few points of interest such as robust rotor structure, non-overlapping windings and reduction of flux cancellation in stator yoke. However, the design with FEC in radial direction required no space between upper FEC and outer stator of machine which is lead to flux loss to surrounding area and flux saturation in stator yoke. As a solution, iron flux bridges have been introduced on the stator core to produce high torque execution. By using JMAG Designer ver. 14, numerous configuration of iron flux bridges have been presented and overviewed. Then, performances of torque at numerous flux bridges is analysed and compared. A design with highest torque is chosen to investigate the other performances of the machine.
