Abstract
This chapter discusses the fundamental design parameters for permanent magnet machines including: shear stress, slot width ratio, slot depth ratio and yoke thickness. It then uses a case study to examine the performance trade-offs between rare-earth and ferrite magnets. Finally a comparison between synchronous reluctance and permanent magnet machines is described.
