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.
