Abstract
This paper comprehensively studies electromagnetic performance of flux reversal permanent magnet (FRPM) machines with different consequent-pole PM (CPM) topologies. Several possible CPM topologies are firstly introduced and classified by different numbers of PM pieces and PM locations on stator teeth. Then, the magnetic flux distribution and torque performance of each CPM topology are analyzed and compared by both analytical and finite element (FE) analyses, from which the CPM topology with the highest torque density is identified.
