The flux-switching permanent magnet (FSPM) machine has aroused wide interest recently due to high-power density, favorable PM cooling capability, and essentially sinusoidal electromotive-force (EMF) waveform per phase. Previously, the phase back-EMF generation mechanism of FSPM machines is exposed from a flux-switching perspective, however, which is rethought from the viewpoint of air-gap modulation magnetic field in Part I as in this article, and electromagnetic torque generation mechanism of FSPM machines will be reported in Part II as another sister paper. With the aid of magnetic field modulation theory, the air-gap PM magnetic field and back-EMF of the FSPM machine are modeled based on modulation and winding functions. Their characteristics are analyzed in detail and consequently, principles concerning FSPM machines on arbitrary stator-slot/ rotor-pole combinations can be obtained, including the basic feature of FSPM machines, the principle and necessary conditions for the back-EMF generation, the fundamental reason of sinusoidal back-EMF waveform, and the contributions of modulation harmonics to phase back-EMF. Finally, experimental verification on a 12s/10p prototyped machine is conducted. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
