An interior permanent magnet synchronous motor (IPMSM) operates by two kinds of torque mechanism, just as the magnet torque and the reluctance torque, and has compact size and high efficiency. Recently, you can see increasing demand for the low-profile interior permanent magnet motor set in the hybrid electric vehicle (HEV). An axial-flux type interior permanent magnet synchronous motor (AIPMSM) is proposed as one of low-profile interior permanent magnet motors. This paper reports inspection of optimal structure for thining by use of finite element method.
