The magnet arrangement of the concentrated flux IPM motor, that concentrates the magnetic flux from the magnet at the air gap, was considered. A prototype motor was experimentally manufactured and evaluated. In this study, it is confirmed that the proposed concentrated flux IPM motor can achieve a torque which is twice that of the existing SPM motor. The problems with manufacturing is identified and the measures to counter those is considered.
