Abstract

This paper presents the comparative study of two permanent-magnet synchronous machines (PMSMs). It investigates the design of two different motors with different pole numbers and explores the pole effect on the performance of parameters. Considered machines in this study are 4-pole and 40-pole SPMMs with same magnet volume on the rotor. Using sizing equations, physical dimensions of the motor are identified, and performance parameter of the motor are extracted via 2D finite-element-analysis. The performance comparison of the machines includes the flux distribution across the geometry, airgap flux density, flux linkage, cogging torque, torque, and motor losses. This comparative study aims to serve useful understanding on the effect of the number of poles on performance of PMSMs for electrical vehicle applications.
