Design and Analysis of Wide Speed Regulation of Variable Leakage Flux Reverse Salient-Pole Motor

Abstract

In this article, a new variable leakage flux reverse salient-pole motor (VLF-RSPM) is raised to widen the speed range. The innovation is to realize both reverse salient-pole characteristics and variable leakage flux characteristics by using a method of adding magnetic bridges and magnetic barriers. Firstly, the evolution of the topological structure and working principle of the motor are introduced. Secondly, based on 2D Finite Element Analysis (FEA), the electromagnetic properties and noise of the motor are analyzed in detail, and the electromagnetic properties are contrasted with that of the conventional V-type synchronous motor (CVTSM). The results show that VLF-RSPM has the advantages of small torque ripple, strong magnetic weakening ability, low noise, high efficiency, and low risk of permanent magnet demagnetization under different conditions. In addition, it is verified that the proposed motor extends the speed range.
