AB  - A fault-tolerant permanent-magnet vernier (FT-PMV) machine is designed for 
      direct-drive applications, incorporating the merits of high torque density and 
      high reliability. Based on the so-called magnetic gearing effect, PMV machines 
      have the ability of high torque density by introducing the flux-modulation poles 
      (FMPs). This paper investigates the fault-tolerant characteristic of PMV machines 
      and provides a design method, which is able to not only meet the fault-tolerant 
      requirements but also keep the ability of high torque density. The operation 
      principle of the proposed machine has been analyzed. The design process and 
      optimization are presented specifically, such as the combination of slots and 
      poles, the winding distribution, and the dimensions of PMs and teeth. By using 
      the time-stepping finite element method (TS-FEM), the machine performances are 
      evaluated. Finally, the FT-PMV machine is manufactured, and the experimental 
      results are presented to validate the theoretical analysis.
