Abstract

The claw-pole motor, known for its simple structure, is widely used in various fields due to its cost competitiveness. However, a drawback of the fixed-stator-type claw-pole motor is its vulnerability to eddy current losses. Therefore, this paper presents a single-phase claw-pole motor applied as a motor for cooling fans, with the aim of reducing eddy current losses and improving performance based on shape optimization, ultimately resulting in a single-phase claw-pole motor that meets the desired performance. The validity of this approach is verified through 3D finite element analysis (FEA).
Keywords: claw-pole; single-phase; eddy current loss claw-pole; single-phase; eddy current loss
