A brief design review of the Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors has been presented. A procedure has been developed to predict the steady state and dynamic performances of a brushless permanent magnet synchronous motor. Finite element analysis has been combined with a lumped parameter circuit model in order to provide satisfactory engineering information. To this end, two coordinated steps are involved. One is to develop a unified lumped parameter circuit model for both steady state and dynamic analysis. The second step is to extract the individual lumped parameters from finite element solutions based on corresponding equivalent circuits, each with a pre-determined topology. The proposed techniques have been experimentally verified in a laboratory permanent magnet synchronous motor.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
