Polyphase Synchronous Machines - Permanent Magnets (Inner and Outer Rotor)

Motor Factory - The design

The Polyphase Synchronous Machine with Permanent Magnets (Inner or Outer Rotor) can be designed in Motor Factory.

The design environment is almost the same as for the 3-Phase Synchronous Machine with Permanent Magnets.

Note: The Polyphase Synchronous Machines with Permanent Magnets (Inner or Outer Rotor) are considered two new kinds of machines different from the 3-Phase Synchronous Machine with Permanent Magnets.

1 The design environment
2 In Machine / Topology area, the structural data considers the number of phases.
3 In Stator / Winding area, the architecture and definition of the winding consider the number of phases.

In Motor Factory / Design area, the main difference between a 3-Phase and Polyphase Synchronous Machine with Permanent Magnets is when defining the structural data. For polyphase machines the number of phases can be defined from 3 to 15 (the odd number) in the section Machine / Topology (see the illustration below).

The definition and characteristics of the winding architecture are adapted to the polyphase machine as well. The winding area has been adapted accordingly.

1 The number of phases can be defined in the structural data.
2 The main characteristics and results consider polyphase machine.

Motor Factory – Export area

  1. Export Documents

    In the EXPORT area of Motor Factory, and like for all the machine types, it is possible to automatically build reports to describe all the work achieved for designing the machines topology.

    At the same level, an export of a python script of a current motor in the application Script Factory can also be automatically generated.

  2. Export projects from FluxMotor® to Flux® 2D and Flux® Skew

On the other hand, once the design of the machine is achieved, it is possible to export their models in Flux 2D or Flux Skew for solving tests in magnetostatic or transient applications.

Then in Flux 2D or Flux Skew, tests like the computation of the back emf or the computation of a working point can be done.

Export projects from FluxMotor® to Flux® 2D and Flux® Skew

1 In the Magneto Static application, one basic test for exporting to Flux® 2D (and Flux® Skew) is available.
2 In the Transient application, two tests for exporting are available: The working point and the back emf computations are available for exporting to Flux® 2D (and Flux® Skew).

The Polyphase Synchronous Machine with Permanent Magnets (Outer Rotor) is also available in FluxMotor. See the illustration below.
