Abstract: Aiming at the problem of low efficiency of conventional multitooth switched flux permanent magnet machine in flux weakening region, a novel multitooth switched flux permanent magnet memory (MSFPMM) machine was developed. In the MSFPMM machine, the online magnetization and demagnetization can be achieved by using the permanent magnets with low coercive force. Thus, the airgap flux density can be reduced by changing the magnetization state of low coercive force permanent magnet with current pulse in the DC field winding. The performance such as the airgap flux density, backEMF, torquespeed characteristics and efficiency in the MSFPMM machine with different magnetization states was investigated by finite element analysis. A prototype MSFPMM machine was built to verify the machine performance. The results indicate that in the MSFPMM machine the efficiency in high speed and low torque region increases when the airgap flux density is reduced. Furthermore, the MSFPMM machine exhibits higher efficiency in flux weakening region compared with the conventional multitooth switched flux permanent magnet machine.
