In the proposed topology, flux in the stator core is transverse, and flux in the rotor core is longitudinal. Unlike the transverse flux machine (TFM), it has an equal number of stator and rotor poles for better utilization of the permanent magnets. Further, the single magnet layer per phase design simplifies the rotor construction. Design of the HFM, along with the derivation of average torque, is presented. As the proposed hybrid flux machine is a modified configuration of TFM, it is compared with two different topologies of TFM (with and without pole shaping) using finite element analysis. It is found that HFM can produce the same torque of TFM with 32% reduced magnet.falseFinite element analysis | Hybrid flux | Longitudinal and transverse flux | Permanent magnet | Pole shaping | Soft magnetic compositeArticle143204871413-14221 September 20204arJournal4
