Prediction and Measurement of Surface Mounted Permanent Magnet Motor Performance with Soft Magnetic Composite and Laminated Steel Stator Cores
Author:
Abstract: One of the crucial problems associated with high speed electrical machines is the excessive losses, which give rise to the temperature and thus preventing the machine to run at higher speed. In this paper two different stator cores were used with a surface mounted permanent magnet synchronous motor. The first stator core was made from standard laminated steel and the second is made from soft magnetic composite (SMC) material which is formed by surface-insulated iron powder particles. Experimental and computational assessments to the two prototypes were carried out in this paper.
