The design, fabrication, and testing of a fractional h.p. permanent magnet
synchronous motor (PMSM) are reported in this paper. The stator has been fi
tted with a balanced three-phase mush winding. Moreover, the performance an
alysis using Maxwell Field Simulator has been included. The test results of
the motor with a fan load confirms the satisfactory operation of the machi
ne designed in this paper.
