The motors were developed for reciprocating compressor applications such as household refrigerators. The three designs have different magnet shape structures, and the stator core of all designs have employed a soft magnetic composite (SMC) material, Somaloy 700. Based on finite element analysis (FEA) an extensively analysis on the open-circuit magnetic field distribution, back-EMF, thrust force, flux-linkage, winding inductance and cogging force in the three designs have been established. The simulation results indicate the effectiveness of the designs to drive a linear reciprocating compressor in household refrigerators, and also the simulation results have shown the superiority of the two designs with T-shape and trapezoidal magnet configurations, over the TLPMM with conventional rectangular magnet. Moreover, the permanent magnets (PMs) array arrangement has significant effects on the motor performance. © 2013 IEEE. date: 2013 official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84882754318&doi=10.1109%2fPEOCO.2013.6564510&partnerID=40&md5=b177f1663aecc11814318836e1f8e776 id_number: 10.1109/PEOCO.2013.6564510 full_text_status: none publication: Proceedings of the 2013 IEEE 7th International Power Engineering and Optimization Conference, PEOCO 2013 place_of_pub: Langkawi pagerange: 29-34 refereed: TRUE isbn: 9781467350730 citation: Abdalla, I.I. and Ibrahim, T. and Nor, N.M.
