Abstract

This paper discusses three-phase topologies for modulated
pole machines (MPMs). The authors introduce a new threephase
topology, which takes advantage of mutual flux paths; this
is analyzed using 3-D finite-element methods and compared to a
three-phase topology using three single-phase units stacked axially.
The results show that the new “combined-phase MPM” exhibits
a greater torque density, while offering a reduction in the
number of components. The results obtained from two prototypes
are also presented to verify the concept; the results show that the
“combined-phase” machine could provide both performance and
constructional benefits over prior MPM topologies.
