In this paper, magnetic field analysis of a new doubly salient permanent ma
gnet (DSPM) motor is carried out based on finite element method (FEM), Henc
e, the corresponding static characteristics, including PM flux linkage, sel
f-inductance, mutual inductance, and static torque are deduced (the interac
tion between the PM held and armature field are taken into account). New me
thods for measuring the motor inductance are also proposed. The theoretical
analysis is verified by experimental results.
