Abstract

This paper presents characteristic analysis of without permanent magnet brushless DC (WPMBLDC) motor by using three-dimensional (3-D) finite element method (FEM). The paper describes the complex magnetic structure and principle of the presented WPMBLDC motor in detail. The magnetic field distribution of the presented motor is numerically computed by 3-D FEM. The primary characteristics of the motor including magnetic flux density, flux linkage and inductance profile are obtained. A prototype WPMBLDC machine has also been built and tested; additionally, the accuracy of 3-D FE analysis is verified by comparing the calculated results with the experimental measured values.
