Abstract
This paper discusses the indigenous development of
novel, innovative, compact, lightweight and highly efficient
Permanent Magnet based Alternator incorporating Axial Flux
technology. The above prototype alternator has been
successfully developed and realized by the author team @
R&DE (Engrs), Pune. This development has immense potential
for various defence applications where space is always at
premium. The AFPM generator can be easily configured as a
highly compact and lightweight power source capable of being
accommodated in confined spaces and on different mobile
plateforms such as trains, trailers, tracked and wheeled
vehicles etc. In this paper the basic principles as well as design,
construction, hardware development and performance related
aspects of the AFPM machine are presented.
