120 - Thermal Demagnetization Analysis of an SPM Motor 120 - Thermal Demagnetization Analysis of an SPM Motor
Module:DP 2011-07-12
Demagnetization may occur in an SPM motor during rotation because of the rising temperature caused by the eddy currents, or the reverse magnetic field produced by the coil in the permanent magnet.The need to evaluate the demagnetization using a magnet field analysis is becoming more important because demagnetization reduces the performance of an SPM motor.The mechanical characteristics need to be evaluated accounting for demagnetization caused by rising temperatures while the motor is driven, because the demagnetization is irreversible even after the temperature decreases once the operating point of the magnet exceeds the knee point.
This example presents the use of a magnetic field analysis to evaluate the torque waveform and demagnetization of an SPM motor while changing the temperature of the permanent magnet.
34 - Demagnetization Analysis of an SPM Motor 34 - Demagnetization Analysis of an SPM Motor
Module:DP 2011-07-12
When a motor is rotating, the permanent magnet in the motor can be demagnetized due to the temperature rise caused by the eddy current loss and the reverse magnetic field generated by the coil. As the demagnetization of the permanent magnet reduces the motor performance, it is important that the demagnetization can be evaluated with magnetic field analysis. This note presents the use of a magnetic field analysis of an SPM motor to evaluate how the demagnetization caused by the reverse magnetic field change with varying current flow.
