Characteristics Analysis of Motor According to Rotor Type Considering Magnetic Nonlinearity of Permanent Magnet

The permanent magnet is an important component that determines the performance and cost of a synchronous motor. Also, the characteristic of the permanent magnet is a major factor in determining the performance of the electric motor. Therefore, to improve the performance of the permanent magnet synchronous motor and reduce the material cost, the permanent magnets having various characteristics are being developed. However, the magnetic properties of permanent magnets have nonlinearity. Therefore, this paper proposes a method to calculate the operating point of a permanent magnet by considering not only the nonlinear magnetic properties of the electrical steel sheet but also the nonlinear properties of the permanent magnet and analyze the characteristics of the electric motor based on this proposed method. Through this, the characteristics of the permanent magnet synchronous motor are analyzed according to the rotor type and the design direction for each type is suggested.
