A Study of the Design for the Flux Reversal Machine.

The three-phase flux reversal machine (FRM) is a doubly-salient stator-permanent magnet machine with flux linkage reversal in the stator three-phase concentrated windings. It can operate in both motoring and generating modes. In this paper, we identify stator/rotor geometrical design variables that influence the cogging, interaction torques, and winding flux linkage using a two-dimensional finite-element method and the flux-magnetomotive force diagram technique. Also, the novel design to improve the performance of the FRM is studied both theoretically and experimentally. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
