The PM integrated motor-drive system for axial pumps has been designed and tested. The motor, being fed by converter, has a power of 4.5 kW at 5000/min rated speed. The propeller is integrated in the hollow shaft of the motor as a straight flow concept. After comparison of the different motor concepts for suitability as integrated pump-drives, the detailed 3-D electromagnetic and thermal calculation is presented. Design layout of the prototype and the comparison between measured and calculated values for voltage, current and temperature rise are given.
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.
