Including generators, motors, transformers The use of an outer rotor electric motor for electric vehicle applications has gained a lot of attention since the motor has high torque density and power. Outer rotor motors have performance indices that should be taken into consideration because not every machine is effective. Recently, outer rotor hybrid excitation flux switching motor (OR�HEFSM) in salient rotor has become attractive for providing high torque and high power.

Furthermore, HEFSM uses a high volume of permanent magnet (PM), suffers demagnetisation and low permeability resulting in poor performance. In another development, outer rotor field excitation FSM (OR-FEFSM), using dovetail segmented rotor in concentrated winding, has been presented for low-cost and high power-density. The OR-FEFSM using concentrated winding is capable of providing high power-density and sinusoidal back-emf, reasonable torque ripple and high net peak-torque. However, the problem of ORFEFSM is the utilisation of high number of stator teeth, high number of rotor segments and high number of copper conductor. These high materials usage lead to high iron and copper losses that affect performance of motor. This thesis deals with a newly designed structure of the segmented outer rotor permanent magnet flux switching motor in transverse shape (SegOR-PMFSM) with minimal iron and copper losses, high permeability, high torque and power output.

description The use of an outer rotor electric motor for electric vehicle applications has gained a lot of attention since the motor has high torque density and power. Outer rotor motors have performance indices that should be taken into consideration because not every machine is effective. Recently, outer rotor hybrid excitation flux switching motor (OR�HEFSM) in salient rotor has become attractive for providing high torque and high power. It uses two flux sources and single tooth winding. Regrettably, salient rotor and complex stator of HEFSM with single tooth winding have inherited high iron loss and high winding loss. Furthermore, HEFSM uses a high volume of permanent magnet (PM), suffers demagnetisation and low permeability resulting in poor performance.

The OR-FEFSM using concentrated winding is capable of providing high power-density and sinusoidal back-emf, reasonable torque ripple and high net peak-torque. However, the problem of ORFEFSM is the utilisation of high number of stator teeth, high number of rotor segments and high number of copper conductor.
