Abstrct In this pper, study on the slot nd pole number combintions of the single-phse permnent mgnet flux-switching mchine (PMFSM) hs been executed. Four slot designs nmely 2S-8P, 4S-8P, 8S-12P, nd 1S-15P were chosen by nlysing the highest power vlue nd torque in the rotor pole study. The proposed designs were briefly compred in regrds to topology development, mteril nd conditions setting s well s properties setting. A few nlyses hve been crried out such s cogging torque, output power nd torque, nd speed. This study ws crried out using JMAG Designer version 14. with 2D finite-element nlysis (2D-FEA). The simulted result showed tht the proposed design 4S-8P ws the best with produce higher torque with 2.47Nm significntly 33% better thn the 8S-12P nd 1S-15P which come in second plce with 1.65Nm nd 1.7Nm respectively. Keywords: permnent mgnet flux switching mchine, single phse. INTRODUCTION This In the middle of 195s, the concept of the FSM ws founded nd first published [1]. Severl novel nd new FSM mchine topologies hve been estblished for vrious pplictions, rnging from low cost domestic pplinces, utomotive, wind power, to erospce nd getting more populr in recent yers. The new flux-switching motor is very simple motor to mnufcture, nd coupled with power electronic controller demnding only two power semiconductor switches, it hs the potentil to be low cost in high volume pplictions. Furthermore, flux switching mchine hs n electroniclly commutted brushless motor, essentilly offers longer life nd very flexible nd precise control of torque, speed, nd position t no dditionl cost [1]. FSM hs been seen s potentil cndidte for future vrible speed pplictions becuse of its unique merits [2]. Ordinrily, the FSMs cn be chrcterised into three cluster tht re field excittion flux switching mchine (FEFSM), permnent mgnet flux switching mchine (PMFSM), nd hybrid excittion flux switching mchine (HEFSM) [6]. Both PMFSM nd FEFSM hve only one primry source of excittion flux, respectively induced by the permnent mgnet nd the field excittion coil wheres both PM nd FECs both re used for generting flow in HEFSM [7]. Bsed on the literture review, nlysis of the number combintions of slots nd poles of mchine designs should be mde in enhncing mchine s performnce [3]. Vrious combintion of sttor slot nd rotor pole for HEFSM hve been refined for high speed pplictions [4]. An erly exmple of FEFSM lso hs been proposed by the uthor. The impct of rotor pole number on the chrcteristics of single-phse hs been presented. Four topologies 12S-3P, 12S-6P, 12S-9P nd 12S-15P of single phse FEFSM with the segmentl rotor nd non-overlp windings hve been investigted nd compred [6]. In other proposed exmple is study of rotor pole number for ORHEFSM. This pper show the rotor pole number effect on the chrcteristics of outer-rotor hybrid excittion flux switching motor (ORHEFSM) for in-wheel drive electric vehicle (EV) pplictions. The pproprite number of slot pole ply key role in order to define the optiml performnces [9]. The permnent mgnet flux switching mchine ( PMFSM ) hs been populr reserch topic becuse of its high power density nd robust rotor structure. With both PMs nd rmture windings locted in the sttor nd single solid piece rotor similr to the switched reluctnce mchine, PMFSM hs the dvntge of suitbility for high speed drives nd esy cooling of ll ctive prts compred to conventionl PM mchines PM [5]. Bsed on the literture review, design new structure of 12S- 1P PMFSM hs been proposed by the resercher for Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) pplictions, the results nd working principle nd working principle hs lso been discussed [5]. Even so, this pper initilly presents the comprtive combintions of single phse PMFSM number slots nd poles of proposed motor designs nmely 2S-8P, 4S-8P, 8S-12P, nd 1S-15P. In this study, the possible number of rotor pole nd sttor slot is defined by (1). N r N s k 1 (1) 2q Where Nr is the number of rotor poles, Ns is the number of sttor slots, k is the nturl entity hving vlue 1,2,3 nd q is the number of phses. Wheres, the electricl frequency, fe of the proposed motors cn be expressed by (2). f e = N r. f m (2) Where fe is the electricl frequency, fm is the mechnicl rottion frequency nd Nr is the number of rotor poles respectively. The rmture coil current nd number of turns re clculted using (3) nd (4), respectively. The motor s filling fctor is set t.5, to ensure flux moves from the sttor to rotor 1377
eqully without ny flux lekge, the design of the proposed mchines is defined s in (5). I J S N (3) N S A (4) copper Sttor Tooth Width = Rotor Tooth Width Where N, J, α, S, A nd I re number of turns, current density, filling fctor, slot re, copper width nd input current, respectively. The subscript is represent for rmture coil. Initilly, the rotor, sttor nd rmture coil of the proposed design re drwn by using Geometry Editor by JMAG-Designer ver. 14., relesed by the Jpn Reserch Institute (JRI). The effects of slot pole number combintions on the electromgnetic performnce such s cogging torque, flux linkge, bck electromgnetic force (bck-emf), output torque, nd power were nlyzed bsed on 2-D finite element nlysis (FEA).

In ddition, PMs with the rrngement of lternte circumferentil directions t every rotor tooth re employed. Since PM volume is limited to only 7g, the finl mchine is more likely to hve less weight but in contrst much high performnces to be obtined in terms of output torque nd power.

Ouput torque versus rmture current densities, J The clcultion of output power cn be executed by mnipulting the dt of torque nd speed. Since ll the required dt hve been obtined in the previous nlysis, eqution (8) is used to substitute them in. Subsequently, for the rottionl on fixed xis, the clculted power is equl to the multipliction between torque nd ngulr velocity of the rotting piece, which re is defined by equtions (6), (7), nd (8). P = (6) ω = 2πS 6 J (Arms/mm²) (7) P = τ ( 2πS 6 ) (8) Where P is power in kilowtt (kw), τ is torque in Newton metre, nd S is speed in revolution per minute (r/min). Therefore, Fig. 6 emphsizes on the 1S- 15P design, which hs contributed to the highest output power, pproximtely 42.7W, followed by 8S-12P, 4S- 8P, nd 2S-8P t 312.38W, 212.2W, nd 56.5W, respectively.

The nlysis results shows tht design torque versus speed of 1S- 15P, the initil speed 2327 r/min nd the resulting torque is 1.65Nm, while the corresponding power reches 42.7W. Design slot 8S-12P t the initil speed of 185 r/min, the resulting torque is 1.65Nm, less compred to 1S-15P FEFSM with corresponding power reches 312.38W.
