The document presents a new design concept for a permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) to improve flux weakening capabilities. The design involves adding shunt teeth to the stator that provide an alternative path for demagnetizing current, weakening the yoke field instead of the airgap field. Finite element analysis and experimental results show the new design significantly increases the d-axis inductance Ld and constant power speed ratio (CPSR) compared to a conventional design, demonstrating strong flux weakening capability. The new design protects the permanent magnets from demagnetization and reduces copper losses.

nent magnets.
In order to improve the flux weakening capability of the PMSM, many authors have already pre-
sented a variety of design concepts.
In the proposed structure of a new PMSM presented in this paper, a pair of shunt teeth is embedded
in each stator slot. Normal stator teeth are separated from the shunt teeth nearby the rotor, but joined
with the shunt teeth far away from the rotor. Although the armature demagnetizing current is still
applied in the proposed motor, the yoke field, not the airgap field, is directly weakened. As has been
established, magnetometive force (MMF) of the armature is less than that of the magnet, so the flux
produced by the armature is also less than that produced by the magnet. After the shunt teeth are
introduced, more armature flux can be produced by less armature MMF, and the magnet flux is
enormously counteracted by the armature flux in the yoke, which leads to reduced flux linkage of    
armature winding and enhanced CPSR of the motor.
II. New Concept for Flux Weakening    
Compared to the application of the airgap flux weakening for expanding constant power operation
range of the PMSM, we propose a new motor structure to realize the following concepts. First, the
demagnetizing current Id is still applied. This current, however, is used to reduce the yoke flux, not
the airgap flux. The permeability of the magnet approximately equals to that of the air, and the
effective airgap is considerable. The airgap flux is difficult to be weakened. Second, In order to
reduce the demagnetizing current Id for flux weakening, it is necessary to enlarge the d-axis induc-
tance Ld. As a result, the permanent magnets are protected from being irreversibly demagnetized,
and the winding copper loss is decreased. In addition, the capacity of the converter is effectively
utilized.
Fig. 4 shows magnetic flux densities of the air-gap and yoke, varying with the demagnetizing cur-
rent, of both PMSMs. They are calculated from their FE model. With the demagnetizing current
increasing from 0A to 2A, the yoke magnetic flux density of the proposed PMSM is reduced by
more than 90 percent, while its counterpart is reduced by only 40 percent. However, the air-gap
magnetic flux densities of both PMSMs are hardly sensitive to the demagnetizing current. They
only fall 0.05T even when the demagnetizing current reaches the maximum 2A.
III. Experimental Results
A prototype, the PMSM stator with shunt teeth shown in Fig 5, was constructed based on the new
design with FE analysis optimization. Flux weakening capability of the presented motor was exper-
imentally verified.
