Descripción
Sumario:Since the slot opening is large in the uniform slot machine, the torque ripple generated by overlapping or misaligning with the rotor cavity is remarkably large in the case of interior permanent magnet (IPM) machine. In this work, it is observed that the magnitude of torque ripple depends strongly on the phase difference between air-gap field harmonics: The ripple is minimized when the two dominant harmonic components cancel each other. Based on this fact, a condition is developed to minimize torque ripple by adjusting the <i>q</i>-flux channel width and <i>d</i>-flux barrier width. The torque ripple minimizing solution is found from a level chart made by subdomain time-stepping analysis. Finite element analysis (FEA) also gives a very similar minimizing solution. A prototype machine is manufactured, and its performances are validated through experiments.
