Flux switching motor (FSM) with field excitation is permanent magnet free and attractive for many industrial and domestic applications. However, design with the conventional trapezoidal stator slot has low efficiency and always been a challenge in the state of the art. Further, the finite element analysis (FEA) method for the electromagnetic performance investigation is a powerful tool, but, it has high computational time, computational complexity and drive storage. To address the concern of low efficiency, in this paper, a new single phase 8slots–6poles electrically excited (EE) FSM design with the rectangular stator slot (RSS), salient rotor and non-overlapped windings for pedestal fan applications is been proposed. The proposed RSS EEFSM design is analyzed analytically and the analytical results are validated by FEA method. Finally, experimental test of the proposed EEFSM prototype is performed. The measured results are in a good agreement with the calculated results. Moreover, the proposed RSS EEFSM has higher efficiency as compared to the conventional design.
