Abstract
The article report on a study of the effects of slot closure in axial- field permanent magnet brushless machines by a two-dimensional finite element method (2D FEM) of analysis. The closure of the slots is made by using soft magnetic powder wedge material. Parameter values and mac hine performance for the open and closed slot configuration are comput ed. In order to test the 2D FEM model, calculated results are compared with measurements and favorable agreement is shown. (C) 1995 American Institute of Physics.
