- This paper presents a novel method for analysis of transverse flux machines that provides deep insights into its operation. It dispels the common myth in the literature that the power factor is due to high flux leakage and it shows that it is fundamentally an inherent feature of flux modulation within. As a results torque density and power factor are strongly linked: maximising the former, reduces the latter. With these insights the paper proposes a design approach to achieve a happy compromise between torque density and power factor, which unlocks the commercial potential of these machines.
