Abstract A modified non‐linear magnetic equivalent circuit (MEC) model is presented for double‐stator single‐rotor axial flux permanent magnet (AFPM) (DSSR‐AFPM) machine considering stator radial‐end flux‐leakage, which is severer under a heavier load. Compared to the conventional MEC model for DSSR‐AFPM machine, the proposed model can predict the electromagnetic performance more accurately when the machine operates under a heavy load. The proposed MEC model is verified by the finite element analysis (FEA) on a 24‐slot/20‐pole DSSR‐AFPM machine. The comparison results show that the relative error between the proposed MEC model and FEA is
