Abstract

Purpose

–

Aims to study a new outer‐rotor permanent‐magnet brushless DC motor by means of the finite element method.

Design/methodology/approach

–

Two practical motor versions are considered for use in light traction at low speed. Special attention is devoted to cogging torque level, magnetic field and performance characteristics.

Findings

–

The various versions of the studied motor are dependent on the pole‐slot ratio.

Originality/value

–

The paper studies a new outer‐rotor permanent magnet brushless DC motor.
