Proposal of a Novel Topology of Five-Phase Fractional Slot Concentrated Non-Overlapping Winding with Selective MMF Harmonic Elimination

In this paper, a novel topology of five-phase fractional-slot concentrated winding (FSCW) with selective magnetomotive force (MMF) harmonic elimination is proposed. Compared to traditional FSCW with stator shift technique, not only the parasitic sub- or sup-order harmonics of the MMF can be selectively reduced or eliminated, the non-overlapping characteristic is also kept. Firstly, based on 20-slot/22-pole single-layer (SL) winding topology, a dual five-phase 40-slot/22-pole one of SL winding with 1

harmonic elimination is introduced. Secondly, a new 40-slot/22-pole of double-layer with selective harmonic reduction is presented. Finally, the high performances of the machine with the proposed winding topology are evaluated using finite element analysis (FEA), including air gap flux density, output torque, machines losses, etc.
