Overview
Vector Control Analysis of an IPM Motor using Control Simulator and the JMAG-RT System
Closeup
Control design and motor design have been conventionally treated as independent processes, and there is a need for coordinated design for these systems.
Meanwhile, for designing advanced motors, it is important to obtain more accurate and detailed motor behavior through simulation. For that purpose, a linked analysis between magnetic field and the circuit / control is necessary.
By linking JMAG to a circuit / control simulator, both the nonlinear properties of a motor and the control properties of a motor drive can be taken into account in the analysis.
This note presents the use of the JMAG-RT system and the circuit / control simulator to perform vector control analysis of an IPM motor.

Id and Iq Current Waveforms / Torque Waveform
Figure 1 shows Id and Iq current waveforms and Figure 2 shows the torque waveform, obtained from the vector control analysis. Since the RT motor model includes motor geometry data, the current waveform and torque waveform are seen to include slot harmonic component. On the other hand, the ideal motor does not include slot harmonic component and its q-axis current is smaller than the RT motor model.
