Abstract

In a preliminary design stage of claw pole fransverse flux inductor motor with E-core, an accurate magnetic calculations are very complicated due to the field arrangement. A special heavy burden is the estimation of leakage flux in the non-useful paths. Extra iron will be needed to carry this flux if saturation is to be avoided in the useful paths. This paper presents a simple equivalent circuit method by which the performance of various magnetic paths are estimated analytically. The method is based on the assumption that the flux paths are made up of straight and circular segments. It can be simply and quickly applied to examine the effects of varying the major dimensions of the motor. Experimental measurements are carried out on a simple static model to verify the proposed method. The comparison between the analytical results obtained from an ideal motor and the experimental results shows that they are in better agreement.
