Low‐loss and lightweight magnetic material for electrical machinery

Abstract

A low‐loss and lightweight core material, with applications in electrical machinery, is made of highly packed and insulated magnetic microwires (MWs). These MWs are aligned in such a way as to guide the flux in the rotor/stator, with the ultimate goal of increasing the efficiency and substantially reducing core losses. Commercial normalFebalnormalNi29normalCo17‐based MWs with a 127 μm diameter and a 33 μm insulation coating are utilised. The magnetic measurements of the fabricated sample demonstrate the high permeability and low core loss in a wide range of frequencies. To prove the utility of this type of material, the authors used it in the rotor core of a prototype 25 W three‐phase synchronous reluctance machine. The core is lighter and the losses are significantly lower than in conventional core materials under the same torque density.

Effects of shrink fitting on iron losses of a permanent magnet synchronous motor with an amorphous core

“…The specific core losses of the rolled ring‐shaped sample is lower than the one made of discs but higher than the frame‐shaped core in the Epstein apparatus, because stresses are observed during the rolling process. Any strain (shrink or stretch) of the core material can strongly affect the performance of electrical machines [20]. In Ref.…”

A review on electrospun magnetic nanomaterials: methods, properties and applications

“…This has led to the inclusion of magnetic materials in an ever-growing range of applications, including hard magnetic materials within magneto-biology, 1 magnetic medicine, 2 magnetic separation 3 and electrical machinery and soft magnetic materials in stator or rotator parts of generators and motors. 4 In addition to the various types of magnetic materials, there is also a variety of magnetic functional materials with various niche functions and applications such as giant magnetic resistors, magneto-strictive materials, magnetic fluids and magnetic refrigeration materials. For these applications pure organic, pure inorganic and hybrid organic-inorganic composite materials have become of increasing interest.…”
