This paper presents the design, analysis, and performance evaluation of a novel structure of a doubly salient motor named Doubly Salient Parallel Path Magnetic Motor (DS-PPMM). It is a Stator-Permanent Magnet (stator-PM) Machine in which magnets are placed in the stator back iron. Parallel path magnetic technology is adopted to optimize its flux navigation, spectral characteristics, and torque production. Exciting the machine by sinusoidal current in phase with the back-EMF, flux routing in six cardinal positions is investigated under both conditions, with and without PMs. It highlights how a dominant flux axis comes into being in stator-PM machines which is different from conventional rotor-PM and induction machines. The machine performance is validated through analytical modeling and extensive Finite Element Analysis (FEA), with results confirming analytical predictions.
