Simplified Approach to Design of 75 kW (100 HP) Industrial Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (original) (raw)

This research paper anchors its investigation on overall design paradigm of permanent magnet motors; surface mount rotor type. In this research, a carefully organized procedural analytical process to permanent magnet motor design had been presented. It did not delve into in-depth study of the structure and formation of individual materials like the magnet, steel or insulator, rather it drew from already established characteristics of machine materials to create her design. It employed mathematical analysis where applicable to realize appropriate values used in the design. The output characteristics of the machine designed analytically in this research paper is investigated using 3D finite element analysis application, (MotoSolve 5.1) to further refine design parameters where necessary. Since there are countless alternatives to variation of parameters in machine design, future design of permanent magnet motors could be based on this work, because it presents a straight forward and coherent knowledge base, subsequent design of PMSMs will be a lot easier when based on this piece of work.
