In this paper, magnetic field analysis of a new doubly salient permanent magnet (DSPM) motor is carried out based on finite element method (FEM). Hence, the corresponding static characteristics, including PM flux linkage, self-inductance, mutual inductance, and static torque are deduced (the interaction between the PM field and armature field are taken into account). New methods for measuring the motor inductance are also proposed. The theoretical analysis is verified by experimental results.

This paper presents the design and analysis of a new doubly salient permanent magnet (DSPM) motor. The corresponding output power equation is analytically derived. The initial calculation of motor dimensions and parameters, namely, the core diameter, stack length, permanent magnet size, and winding turns, are also discussed. An 8/6-pole DSPM motor is designed and built for exemplification. Moreover, finite element analysis of this motor is carried out to investigate the magnetic field distribution at different rotor positions and load currents, in which the leakage flux outside the stator circumference of the DSPM motor is firstly taken into account. Hence, the characteristics of the proposed motor are deduced. Experimental results of the prototype are given to verify the theoretical analysis and to confirm its high efficiency.

In this paper, various flux-weakening techniques available for wide speed operation of the doubly salient permanent magnet (DSPM) motor are reviewed. A new split-winding topology capable of widening the speed range is proposed, which is valid not only for the DSPM motor with stationary PMs, but also for that with rotary PMs. Based on the parameters obtained by finite element analysis, the performance of the proposed DSPM motor is analyzed. The results show that this motor combines the features of wide speed range, high efficiency, simple structure, and low cost.

In this paper, a nonlinear varying-network magnetic circuit (VNMC) modeling method is developed for doubly salient permanent-magnet (DSPM) motors. The method is used to analyze the static characteristics of DSPM motors by specific permeance calculations, in which the interaction between the permanent-magnet field and the armature current field, as well as magnetic saturation, are taken into account. Two newly proposed DSPM motors (12/8-pole and 6/4-pole) are used as examples. There is good agreement between the results of the nonlinear VNMC modeling method and finite-element analysis. Moreover, the nonlinear VNMC method offers the advantage of calculating, effectively and efficiently, the static characteristics of DSPM motors having different dimensions, parameters, and conditions. Finally, the proposed method is verified by experimental testing of a 6/4-pole prototype.
