Split ratio, i.e. the ratio of stator inner diameter to outer diameter, has a closed relationship with electromagnetic performance of permanent magnet (PM) motors. In this paper, the toroidal windings with short end-winding axial length are employed in the 6-slot/2-pole (6s/2p) PM motor for high speed applications. The split ratio is optimized together with the ratio of inner slot to outer slot area, i.e. slot ratio, considering stator total loss (stator iron loss and copper loss). In addition, the influence of maximum stator iron flux density and tooth-tip on the optimal split ratio, slot ratio, and average torque is investigated. The analytical predictions show that when the slot ratio is 0.5, the maximum torque can be achieved, and the optimal split ratio increases with the decrease of slot ratio, as confirmed by the finite element (FE) analyses. Finally, some of predicted results are verified by the measured results of 6s/2p prototype motor with 0.5 slot ratio.
