The invention discloses a method for reducing the torque ripple of a five-phase embedded permanent magnet motor. According to the invention, a stator magnetomotive force model is established. An equivalent magnetic circuit diagram of the motor is extracted, and an odd harmonic part in the rotor magnetomotive force is converted into an even harmonic part according to the interaction principle between the stator magnetomotive force and the rotor magnetomotive force of the motor. In this way, the permanent magnet torque ripple is reduced. Meanwhile, an optimal extreme arc coefficient ratio underthe condition of an asymmetric magnetic pole structure is solved. On the basis of the asymmetric magnetic pole structure, the repeated units of a permanent magnet magnetic pole are determined. The angle of one-time offset is calculated, and a proper offset method is selected for carrying out the magnetic pole deviation. The performances of the reluctance torque and the cogging torque are reduced.According to the invention, the equivalent magnetic circuit method is used for analyzing and calculating an optimal extreme arc coefficient. Not only the optimal permanent magnet torque performance isobtained, but also the design period is shortened. By adopting the magnetic pole offset method, the pulsation of the output torque of the embedded motor is further reduced.
