This paper presents an improved phase variable model and field-circuit coupling method for the design and performance analysis of a high speed surface mounted permanent magnet brushless DC motor. In the design of the motor, magnetic field finite element analysis is conducted to calculate the key motor parameters such as the air gap flux, back electromotive force, and inductance, etc. Based on the numerical magnetic field solutions, a modified incremental energy method is employed to effectively calculate the self and mutual inductances of the stator windings. An equivalent electrical circuit is derived to predict the motor characteristics. In order to study the comprehensive performance of the motor at the design stage, especially the motor output speed and torque at high speeds, which are affected by the dynamic inductances, an improved phase variable model is introduced to simulate the motor performance. The motor prototype has been constructed and tested with both a dynamometer and a high speed embroidery machine, which validates successfully the theoretical calculations.
