This paper presents a general analytical model to analyze the cogging torque in consequent pole permanent magnet (CPPM) machines and other rotor PM machines with unequal north and south poles as well as pole shifting. The optimal slot opening and optimal pole-arc to pole-pitch ratio with/without pole shifting for minimal cogging torque are derived analytically and validated by finite element analyses and experiments. The findings reveal that the cogging torque in PM machines with unequal poles follows a different order than conventional PM machines with equal poles.
In this paper, a general analytical model is developed to analyze the cogging torque accounting for unequal north and south poles as well as pole shifting, which can be applied to consequent pole permanent magnet (CPPM) machines and other rotor PM machines. The optimal slot opening and optimal pole-arc to pole-pitch ratio with/without pole shifting for minimum cogging torque are then analytically derived and verified by finite element analyses and experiments. It shows that in contrast to conventional PMmachines with equal north and south poles, of which the fundamental cogging torque order is the least common multiple (LCM) between slot number Ns and pole number 2p, the fundamental cogging torque order for the PM machines with unequal north and south poles (as often the case in CPPM machines), is the LCM between N-s and p, which has been derived analytically. However, in the special case when the slot number in one submachine is even, the LCM between Ns and 2p has the same value as the LCM between Ns and p.
