Due to their particular structure, switched-flux permanent magnet machines have become a very interesting alternative for many applications. This is why some recent studies have been focused in the understanding of the operating mechanism of these machines via the MMF-permeance modelling. However, the models that can be found in the literature make some simplifications that reduce their accuracy when predicting the performance of switched-flux machines. For example, the models that can be found in the literature are commonly not precise enough for machines with a wide slot, because the influence of the modulator of the primary side of the machine is neglected. In this article, a precise analytical model is developed for a 6/13 C-Core switched-flux machine via a combination of a magnetic equivalent circuit and a MMF-permeance model. The model is based on the magnetic field modulation principle. The analytical model is used to explain the flux focusing effect and the force generation mechanism of switched-flux machines. A new concept of PM field harmonic efficiency ratio is used to identify the most efficient PM field harmonics of 2 switched-flux machines. The precision of the model is validated via 2D and 3D Finite Element Method simulations, and experimental measurements that were obtained with a linear machine prototype. The results show that the model can predict the performance of switched-flux machines with a high accuracy level. [-]
