Various topologies of 3 phase and single phase Field Excitation Flux Switching Machines (FSMs) have been develop recently due to the advantages of veriable flux capability of DC Field Excitation coil located on the stator as well as robust single piece rotor structure suitable for high speed applications. However, the fundamantel principles of the develop machine with salient pole rotor, requires overlap winding between armature and FEC, creating the problems of high end coil, huge size of motor as well as high copper losses. Therefore, in this paper, a new topology of single phase segmented rotor FEFSM with 12S-6P configuration is presented with the advantage of non overlap armature and FEC windings, a smaller machine with low copper loss is designed. In this study, the principle of single phase 12S-6P with segmental is an investigated using 2D-FEA finite element analysis to validate the torque, speed and power characteristics. As conclusion, the proposed design is suitable for high density air-conditioner because 1kW power generated at 1.8Nm and the corresponding speed of 4977r/min.

Field excitation flux switching machines (FEFSMs) in which their torque performance produced by interaction between armature and field excitation (FE) coils have been widely designed for various applications. In this regard, three-phase salient rotor FEFSM with overlap windings is considered the most suitable candidate for high speed applications because of their advantages of flux controllability, and robust due to single piece of rotor structure. However, the overlap windings cause a high copper loss, hence efficiency of the motor becomes low and higher stack length. Besides, the salient rotor structure is found to produce low torque performance due to the longer flux path in stator and rotor yielding weak flux linkage. In this paper, a new single-phase FEFSM using non-overlap windings between armature coils and FE coils is proposed. Both non-overlap windings FEFSMs with salient and segmental rotors have been designed using JMAG Designer version 15 and the investigation process is conducted via 2D finite element analysis. The proposed motor performances verification has been done by comparing the results of flux linkage, flux line and distribution, flux strengthening, various torque capability, and torque-power versus speed characteristics. As a conclusion, single-phase non-overlap windings FEFSM using segmental rotor with power, torque and speed capabilities of 277.5 W, 0.91 Nm and 2,899 rpm, respectively considered as the best candidate for low torque high speed applications.

This paper presents a new structure of field excitation flux switching motor (FEFSM) as an alternative candidate of non-permanent magnet (PM) machine. The rotor is consisted of only stack of iron and hence, it is reliable and appropriate for high speed operation. Initially, the coil arrangement tests are examined to validate the operating principle of the motor and to identify the zero rotor position. Furthermore, the profile of flux linkage, induced voltage, cogging torque, torque and power characteristics are observed based on 2D finite element analysis (FEA). Initial performances show that 8S-12P FEFSM produce torque and power of 8.79Nm and 1.5kW, respectively with low cogging torque and sinusoidal flux waveform. Further design refinement and optimization will be conducted to improve the performances of the motor.

Field excitation flux switching machines (FEFSMs) in which their torque performance generated by interaction between armature and field excitation (FE) coils have been widely designed and developed for various applications. In this regard, FEFSM with salient rotor is considered the most suitable candidate for high speed applications because of their advantages of flux controllability, and robust due to single piece of rotor structure. However, the existing FEFSM with overlapped armature and FEC windings lead to increment of copper loss, motor size and material cost. In addition, the declination of torque and power densities due to high rotor weight needs to be improved. In this paper, performance comparisons of four FEFSM topologies particularly emphasis on non-overlap armature coil and FEC windings placed on the stator with segmental rotor are investigated. The performances, including flux linkage, back-emf, flux strengthening, flux line, flux distribution, cogging torque, torque and power of the proposed motor are analysed and compared using 2D finite element analysis (FEA) thru JMAG Designer version 15. As a result, segmental rotor has produced shorter flux paths, while non-overlapping windings has reduced the copper consumption. Finally, the best combination of stator slot-pole configurations is 12S-6P which provide high flux linkage, high torque and power of 0.0412 Wb, 0.77 Nm and 0.26 kW, respectively.

<span>Recently, a three-phase Field Excitation Flux Switching Motor (FEFSM) using salient rotor has been introduced, suitable for high torque, high power as well as high speed diverse performances due to their advantages of easy rotor temperature elimination and controllable field excitation (FE) flux. However, existing FEFSMs are found to have low torque performance as the salient rotor structure has caused longer flux path, and consequently weak flux linkage. Therefore, a new structure of a single-phase FEFSM using segmental rotor and non-overlap windings is proposed. There are two valuable findings found in this topology, first is less copper loss due to the non-overlap windings between armature and FE coils, and secondly the segmental rotor structure has produces shorter flux path to produce high torque, less rotor weight as well as robust rotor at high speed condition. Flux linkage, back-emf, average torque and output power characteristics of the initial and optimized designs have been investigated and compared using 2D Finite Element Analysis (2D-FEA) through JMAG Designer version 15. Based on the 2D-FEA analysis, the average torque has increased by 81.3% to 1.65 Nm, while the output power of 466.5 W, increased of 68.2%. In conclusions, a FEFSM using segmental rotor and non-overlap windings is considered as the best single-phase motor due to their optimal performances and less copper loss.</span>

In recent years, numerous topologies of single phase and three phase Field Excited Flux-Switching Machine (FEFSM) have been developed for several applications. Comparative study of three types of single-phase low-priced Field Excited Flux-Switching Machine (FEFSM) is presented in this paper. Both the conventional 8S/4P sub-part rotor design and 6S/3P salient rotor design have an overlapped winding arrangements between armature coil and field excitation coil that depicts high copper losses as well as&nbsp; results in increased size of motor. Additionally, FEFSM with salient structure of the rotor have high flux strength in the stator-core that has much impact on high iron losses. Copper consumption and iron loss being a crucial proportion in total machine losses. Therefore a&nbsp; novel topology of single phase modular rotor field excited FSM with 8S/6P configuration is proposed, which enable non-overlap arrangement between armature coil and FEC winding that facilitates devaluation in the copper losses. The proposed modular rotor design acquires reduced iron losses as well as reduced active rotor mass comparatively to conventional rotor design. It is very persuasive to analyze the best range of speed for these rotors to avoid cracks and deformation, the maximum tensile strength (can be measured with principal stress in research) of the rotor analysis is conducted using JMAG. A deterministic optimization technique is used to enhance the performance of 8S/6P modular rotor design. The electromagnetic performance of conventional sub-part rotor design, F1-A3-3P design and proposed novel-modular rotor design are analyzed by 3D-Finite Element Analysis (3D-FEA), includes flux linkage, flux distribution, flux strength, back-EMF, cogging torque, torque characteristics, iron losses and efficiency.

This paper presents magnetic flux analysis of E-Core Hybrid Excited FSM with various rotor pole topologies. The stator consists of three active fluxes sources namely armature coil, field excitation coil and permanent magnet, while the rotor consists of only stack of iron which is greatly reliable for high speed operation. Initially, coil arrangement tests are examined to validate the operating principle of the motor and to identify the zero rotor position. Then, performances of 6S-4P, 6S-5P, 6S-7P and 6S-8P E-Core HEFSMs such as flux path, flux linkage, cogging torque and flux distribution are observed. As conclusion, 6S-5P and 6S-7P designs have purely sinusoidal flux waveform and less cogging torque suitable for high torque and power motor.

Hybrid excitation flux switching machines (HEFSMs) have a several advantages such as robust rotor structure, high torque and power capabilities, and high efficiency suitable for light load and heavy industry applications. However, the general structure of HEFSMs employed with three main flux sources namely permanent magnet (PM), field excitation coil (FEC) and armature coil located on the stator body causes high manufacturing cost. Therefore, a new non-PM field excitation flux switching machine (FEFSM) consists of rugged rotor structure suitable for high-speed operation with capability to keep similar torque and power density of HEFSM is proposed and examined. In this paper, performances of both outer and inner rotor 12S-14P FEFSMs are analyzed and compared. As conclusion, the inner-rotor topology provides much higher torque and power when compared with outer rotor configuration.

Flux switching machines (FSMs), new type of electric machines with unique operating principles have been introduced and published recently. FSMs contain armature and excitation sources on the stator with robust rotor structure. According to rotor structure FSMs can be classified into two types namely salient pole rotor and segmental pole rotor. Various topologies have been studied and published using both rotor structures, however salient pole rotor has a demerit of less torque generation due to longer flux path resulting flux leakage surrounding the rotor. In this paper a new structure of hybrid excitation FSM (HEFSM) with segmental rotor is proposed and a comparative analysis with the invented field excitation FSM (FEFSM) and permanent magnet FSM (PMFSM) is presented. Initially, coil arrangement tests are examined to confirm the operating principle of HEFSM with segmental rotor. Moreover, the cogging torque, induced voltage, magnetic flux, torque at various armature current densities and power characteristics are observed based on 2D-finite element analysis (FEA).
