© 2017 IEEE. In our previous study, the claw pole motor (CPM) shows promising magnetic concentrating performance for permanent magnet motors with soft magnetic composite cores. Meanwhile, its relatively complex structure also increases the core loss and cogging torque. To conduct the high dimensional optimization of the CPM with comprehensive analysis models, this paper presents an improved multilevel strategy of high efficiency. Since the holistic performances, including output torque, efficiency, cogging torque, and back electromotive force, are considered, an orthogonal design is utilized for the surrogate model building for increasing the optimization efficiency. A full factor sample method for the surrogate model is also conducted for comparison. The similar optimization results with the two kinds of models prove the effectiveness of the proposed method and optimal design.
