A study on motor characteristics based on pole-slot combinations.

Electric devices called motors, which have a history of 100 years, are the devices that use the most electricity in the world. Therefore, the development of high-efficiency motors leads to efficient power use and carbon neutrality. In motor design, the combination of poles and slots is very important. It affects many characteristics including back electromotive force waveform and magnitude, torque and torque ripple, cogging torque, noise and vibration, and efficiency. The most widely used combination of poles and slots is 8 poles and 12 slots. And recently, 8-pole 9-slots are also attracting attention for their various advantages. This paper compares the characteristics of 8-pole 12 slots and 8-pole 9 slots through computer simulation. And to overcome the weaknesses of 8 poles and 9 slots, a multiple of the pole-slot combination is applied. Finally, the comparative values are verified through an experiment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
