description This paper investigates the influence of stator flux barriers on the short-circuit current (SCC) and braking torque of a dual three-phase permanent magnet (PM) synchronous machine. By optimizing the position and width of stator flux barriers, the machine has a lower amplitude of short-circuit current and brake torque when the short-circuit fault occurs. First, the SCC and braking torque are analytically derived. The amplitude of SCC is proportional to the PM flux linkage and inversely proportional to the inductance. The braking torque is proportional to the square of the PM flux linkage and inversely proportional to inductance. Then, the equivalent magnetic circuit model of flux barriers is established. Its influence on flux linkage and inductance is analyzed, and the improvement mechanism of output torque and fault tolerance is revealed. Furthermore, the flux barriers’ width is optimized by finite element analysis and the theoretical analysis is verified. Finally, experiments on the prototype machine are carried out for the validation.
