Analysis of armature reaction and winding inductances of permanent magnet brushless DC motor with deep slot concentrated coils

Abstract

Based on the configuration of deep slot concentrated coils, an analytical model is developed for predicting the armature reaction field produced by the 3-phase stator windings of permanent magnet brushless DC motors with concentrated coils by using the image method and the analytical functions of the armature reaction and winding inductances are proposed accounting for the influence of stator slotting. This approach is different from the method of equivalent distributed current sheet and more suitable for electric machines, which have concentrated coils and deeper slots. Under different control mode, the different analytical functions are presented. This will be helpful when further analyzing the performance of the motor. The results agree with the experiment very well.
