Optimal Winding Design of a Permanent Magnet Motor for Self-Controlled Inverter Operation

This paper describes a novel design of the three-phase synchronous motor which is tailored to match the operational characteristics of the self-controlled inverter. The design is based on a square waveform distribution of the rotor radial B-fields and square waveform distributions of the winding densities of the stator phases around the periphery of the airgap. The motoring torque has minimal time harmonics. The design achieves a maximum power density for the frame size of the motor. It is ideally suited for permanent magnet synchronous motors.
