The cogging torque in an inset permanent magnet synchronous machine causes some undesirable vibration and noises which should be reduced in the earliest possible stage of design. The influences of edge slotting and slot opening width in the magnet rotor pole on the cogging torque were investigated in this article. The structure of the proposed inset permanent magnet synchronous machine has 8 poles and 24 stator slots with fixed slot opening width and a modified magnet pole in the rotor. The finite element method magnetics (FEMM 4.2) tool was used to investigate the core saturation induced in the stator and rotor of the inset permanent magnet synchronous machine. The simulation results show that the slotting design in the magnet edge can effectively reduce the cogging torque of the inset permanent magnet synchronous machine.

Inset Permanent Magnet synchronous machine (Inset - PMSM) is a specific kind of permanent magnet synchronous machine. The magnetic flux in air gap of electrical machine is one of the important parameters and it imply to the electric or mechanical energy of machine. Using radial pole structure, the characteristics of magnetic field in air gap of an Inset PMSM with 6 poles and 36 slots are simulated. In this paper, we simulated and observed the influence of axial channel rotor core of Inset-PMSM to the value/quantity of magnetic flux in air gap. Magnetic flux quality is also considered in this simulation. The simulations were compared with the conventional rotor structure. The flux density per pole in the air gap was measured with three different angles, 00, 250 and 400.

An electrical machine is constructed with some holes or axial hollows in the rotor core for special purpose. The effects of axial hole in the proposed Inset Permanent Magnet Machine (Inset PMSM) with eight radial poles are analyzed by the magnetic flux density in air gap. The characteristics associated with magnetic flux density of every magnet poles in the air gap, magnetic flux losses in the rotor teeth, density magnetic flux in the rotor core surface and torque of the machine are also investigated and compared. Results show small direct reactance and less area in the proposed axial channel rotor core compared with the convention Inset PMSM. It imply to a lighter weight and high efficiency machine design. The finite element simulation shows the magnetic flux density per pole in air gap of the proposed rotor structure remain constant or may be a little bit drop compared with the conventional machine.
