Abstract

This article proposes a nonlinear semianalytical model (SAM) of the multiphase Halbach array axial flux permanent-magnet motor (AFPMM) to speed up the computation of its magnetic field. Compared to the existing analytical models, the proposed nonlinear SAM can directly consider magnetic saturation to obtain more accurate results. To this end, the multiphase Halbach array AFPMM is equivalent to several 2-D models by the quasi-3-D method under the Cartesian coordinate system. Then, the nonlinear SAM is developed by using the convolution theorem and the fast Fourier factorization. The proposed nonlinear SAM is studied on a five-phase Halbach array AFPMM with different rotors, and the nonlinear finite element (FE) model and experiment verify its effectiveness. The proposed SAM is computationally efficient and accurate, and it is also applicable to other types of multiphase Halbach array permanent magnet (PM) electrical motors in Cartesian coordinates.
