Abstract

In the present work, some tests on the electromagnetic interference issues of a new designed and constructed axial flux permanent magnet generator have been presented. The machine itself has multiple special laminated cores (i.e., 12) and 24 windings in the stator component with two active sides. Machine operates in 3 phases and uses disc type permanent magnets on two rotors at two sides in a sandwiched formation. Rotors have 32 magnets and freely rotates at the vicinity of stable stator within a certain air gap. The electromagnetic interference measurements have been realized for different distances and directions from the machine. Besides, the effects of different frequencies are also evaluated following the tests. It has been concluded that the shielding material shape is very important for the optimum shielding results.
