Abstract
We designed and tested a new axial flux permanent-magnet machine (AFPM) with field weakening capability. This paper provides a summary of key design features, optimization, and test results of an AFPM prototype. The proposed field weakening method is based on the control of the d-axis component of the armature reaction flux. The paper focuses on the air-gap flux control capability of the topology.
