(8) Then, the next step is to derive the specific airgap permeanceΛ(θs,θ) in Eq. (1).
Since the stator slotting effect has already been considered in Eqs. (5–8), the specific airgap permeanceΛ(θs,θ) can be replaced by the airgap permeance with smoothed stator and slotted rotorΛr(θs,θ). The model of smoothed stator and slotted rotor is shown in Figure 8. Then, theΛr(θs,θ) can be expressed by:
Λrðθs,θÞ≈ Λ0rþΛ1rcos Z½ rðθs�θÞ� (9) The coefficients of the airgap permeance functionΛ0randΛ1rin Eq. (9) can be obtained using the conformal mapping method [28, 29]:

As can be seen in Eq. (14), the number of pole pairs in the air gap flux density is iZs/2�Zr, i = 1,3,5 … Then, in order to make the flux density induce EMF in the armature windings, the pole pair number of the armature windings P should be equal to iZs/2�Zr, i = 1,3,5 … Besides, for three phase symmetry, the winding pole pair number must also meet the following requirement:
Zs
GCD Zð s, PÞ¼3k, k¼1, 2, 3 … (16) All in all, the slot-pole combination of three-phase FRPMMs is ruled by the following equation:
P¼ min P¼iZs
2 �Zr; Zs
GCD Zð s, PÞ¼3k

i¼1, 3, 5 … k¼1, 2, 3 …
(17)
where min means to select the minimum number of these qualified harmonic orders so as to obtain a maximal pole ratio of FRPMMs. Therefore, the feasible slot- pole combinations can be summarized as Table 2. Non-overlapping windings (i.e., concentrated windings) are usually used in FRPMMs because of the higher fault tolerance and easier manufacture than regular overlapping windings. However, some FRPMMs are suggested to employ overlapping windings in order to have a larger winding factor and thus a higher torque density. Therefore, both winding factors, that is, kwn(using non-overlapping winding) and kwr(using overlapping winding) are calculated for each FRPMM so as to see the difference of using different winding types.

So far, the general torque equation has been obtained as Eq. (24), but in this equation, some parameters such as Bi, Iphcannot be determined in the initial design stage of FRPMMs, so it is desirable that Eq.

(30) where klris the aspect ratio, equals to the ratio of rgto lstk. It can be found in Eq. (27) that the key parameters affecting the torque density are the airgap radius rg, stack length lstk, winding factor kw, rotor slot number Zr, electric loading Ae,and equivalent magnetic loading Bm, among which the stack length lstkcan be deter- mined by the volume requirement, and winding factor kwis approximate to 1. So, the remaining parameters rg, Zr, Ae, Bmshould be determined at the initial stage of the design process. Thus, the influences of the above key parameters on important performances, such as average torque, pulsating torque, power factor, PM demag- netization performance, will be investigated in the following parts.
