Most
motors are constructed with three-phase windings because three
phases minimizes the number of power electronic devices required to
drive the motor.
All brushless PM
motors develop torque based on the Lorentz force equation (3.25), which
can be rewritten in terms of torque as
dT = RIdl x B
The purpose of the rotor and stator back iron is to provide a magnet
flux return path as illustrated about the center magnet in the figure.
Flux paths for all other magnets follow accordingly.
