A new dual stator hybrid excitation flux switching (DSHEFS) motor with iron bridges was proposed. The advantages of the hybrid excitation motor were analyzed by building the mathematical model of hybrid excitation machine. And an equivalent magnetic circuit model was developed to summarize the characteristics of DSHEFS machines with or without iron flux bridges, respectively. Based on 2D finite element analysis, the electromagnetic performances of the DSHEFS were evaluated, and the results proved that it could exhibit not only better flux regulation capability but also higher torque.
