High-speed permanent magnet motor

Abstract

The power density of a high-speed permanent magnet (PM) motor is high, and the heat dissipation of its rotor is poor due to limited installation space. Th0000000000000000000us, the temperature of the permanent magnets is high. Once the cooling system of a motor becomes ineffective and the rotor temperature exceeds the limit temperature of the PM material, a demagnetization fault of the PM occur, which seriously affects the performance of the PM motor. To ensure the safe and reliable operation of PM motors, a method to diagnose the PM health is presented in this paper. The demagnetization ratio of the PM can be diagnosed quantitatively by its temperature. In this paper, the relationship between the temperature and the demagnetization ratio of a PM is obtained through thermal demagnetization tests, and the threshold temperature of demagnetization is given. Then, the health of a PM under different effectiveness of the cooling system in a high-speed PM motor is researched. Finally, the calculation results are verified by temperature tests of a high-speed PM motor.
