The impact of stator slots and spatial disposition of the windings are taken into account to improve the accuracy of a lumped-parameter abc model. This model is suitable for tracking the dynamic behavior of fault components as it can be accompanied by any control scheme and/or be used for model-based fault detection schemes. In addition, parameters of this model can be automatically tuned by an optimization process in the off-line phase of the healthy machine. Finite element simulations are carried out for proving the effectiveness of the proposed model. Verifica-tion is done in both time and frequency domains for four PM motors with different rotor and stator configurations. The simulation results are experimentally verified.en©2018 IEEEBrushless direct current electric motorsComputer simulationMathematical modelsRotorsElectric generators—WindingsElectric motorsFailure analysis (Engineering)Fault location (Engineering)Permanent magnetsPermanent magnet motorsarticleMazaheri-Tehrani, E., J.
