Experimental Comparison of Lamination Material (M330-50 & NO-20) Case Switching Flux Synchronous Machine with Hybrid Excitation

摘要

The aim of this paper is to compare the experimental performances of a new hybrid flux switching synchronous machine built with two types of lamination materials (3% silicon iron steel M330-50 and NO-20). This machine uses the flux switching principle where all the active parts are located on the stator (armature windings and permanent magnets). However DC excitation coils where added in the stator and gives a supplementary degree of freedom used to control the total excitation flux. The rotor is only a salient passive rotor and can be robust and made with a low cost technology. This new machine can be fed by means of a traditional three-phase voltage converter or can be associated with a diode rectifier.
