Abstract

This paper presents a detailed magnetic equivalent circuit (MEC) to improve the analysis accuracy and reduce computation time in modeling of axial flux permanent magnet machines. In the proposed MEC model, the magnetic saturation, armature reaction, leakage flux, and rotor rotation are considered to calculate the machine's static characteristics. The investigated machine structure and feature are first introduced. Then, the air-gap flux density distribution, back electromotive force waveform, and the average torque are calculated with the proposed method. Finally, the accuracy of the proposed method is verified by the 3-D finite-element method, and good agreements are achieved.
