3D FEA of SMPM Accounting for Skew and End Windings

摘要

This paper presents the use of the three dimensions finite element method for analyzing the surface mounted permanent magnet motor. The saturation of the motor is taken into account in determination of the flux distribution and the inductances. Skew and end windings are also taken into account. The results are presented and compared to demonstrate the effect of skew and end windings.
