• This paper proposes two high-performance switched flux hybrid magnet memory machines (SF-HMMMs) based on the design concepts of E-core and C-core SF permanent magnet (PM) machine topologies. Since two kinds of PMs (i.e., NdFeB and low coercive force magnets) are employed, the proposed machines can offer the merits of high torque capability, excellent flux adjustability, and high efficiency across a wide speed range. In this paper, the PM arrangement and dimensions, stator/rotor pole number combination, as well as the major design parameters are optimized first. Then, the electromagnetic characteristics of the proposed machines are investigated and compared with their conventional 12-stator pole SF-HMMM. It is found that compared with their conventional 12-stator pole counterpart, the proposed machines offer improved torque density and flux adjustability, even with the reduced PM usage. Finally, two machine prototypes are manufactured and tested to validate the analyses.
