Abstract

Electrical machines with 3D magnetic flux are one option, to increase power and torque density compared to conventional machines. One of these machines is the transverse flux machine which offers high torque at low speeds. However, due to material or geometric limitations, these machines have not been widely implemented thus far. The development of additive manufacturing in the field of soft magnetic materials has opened up new possibilities for the transverse flux machine. This paper presents, how the newly available materials and the integration of air slots in an existing stator open up new potentials for the transverse flux machine, mainly by reducing eddy currents. Here, a sensitivity analysis shows the influence of the slots on the machine performance. By selecting the best slot parameters, a significant increase in performance compared to the original machine can be achieved at a comparable efficiency.
