Design of a Robust Five-phase Ferrite-assisted Synchronous Reluctance Motor with Low Demagnetization and Mechanical Deformation

This study presents the design of a robust five-phase ferrite (Fe) permanent-magnet-assisted synchronous reluctance motor (PMaSynRM) to mitigate two major design challenges: irreversible demagnetization and mechanical deformation. Recently, rare-earth magnet-based five-phase PMaSynRMs have been proposed for vehicular applications due to their better fault tolerance, higher torque density, and low ...
