We designed and analyzed an interior permanent magnet synchronous motor (IPMSM) to prevent irreversible demagnetization of the permanent magnets (PMs). Irreversible demagnetization of NdFeB PMs mainly occurs due to high temperature, which should thus be minimized. Therefore, it is necessary to reduce the eddy current loss in the PM through optimal design. The shape of the rotor core was optimized using finite element analysis (FEA) and response surface methodology. Three-dimensional (3-D) FEA is required for accurate computation of the eddy current loss, but there is huge time, effort, and cost consumption. Therefore, a method is proposed for indirectly calculating the eddy current loss of PMs using 2-D FEA. A thermal equivalent circuit analysis was used to calculate the PM temperature of the optimized model. For the thermal analysis, the copper loss, core loss, and eddy current loss in PMs were estimated and applied as a heat source. Based on the results, we confirmed the stability of the optimum model in terms of the PM demagnetization.

Approximately 2.5 billion won can be saved every year by replacing existing induction motors, which are traction motors for urban railway vehicles, with permanent magnet motors. This paper presents a study on the structural design of a completely enclosed motor to commercialize an interior permanent-magnet synchronous motor (IPMSM) for the traction of urban railway vehicles. The proposed solution provides protection from an inflow of dust and magnetic powder into the rotor that can deteriorate the motor performance and cause burnout. In addition, unless it is a water-cooled or oil-cooled structure, cooling of an electric motor used in medium and large-sized equipment is not easily accomplished. However, completely enclosed motors are vulnerable to overheating; therefore, research into housing design is required to provide cooling. Additionally, the permissible current density through the stator winding must be considered in the design to prevent the occurrence of thermal demagnetization of permanent magnets. Furthermore, IPMSMs require a separate driver for operation and speed controls for a wide range of operating conditions such as rail traction. Thus, a study has been conducted on IPMSMs and other related driver and control technologies, and their suitability has been validated through performance tests.

A permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) based on the principle of variable exciting magnetic reluctance (VMRPMSM) is presented. The motor is equipped with symmetrical non-magnetic conductors on both sides of the tangential magnetized permanent magnets (PMs). By placing the non-magnetic conductor (NMC), the magnetic reluctance in the exciting circuit is adjusted, and the flux weakening (FW) of the motor is realized. Hence, the NMC is studied comprehensively. On the basis of introducing the motor structure, the FW principle of this PMSM is described. The shape of the NMC is determined by analyzing and calculating the electromagnetic force (EF) acting on the PMs. We calculate the magnetic reluctance of the NMC and research on the effects of the NMC on electromagnetic force, d-axis and q-axis inductance and FW performance. The critical speeds from the test of the no-load back electromotive force (EMF) verify the correctness of the NMC design. The analysis is corresponding to the test result which lays the foundation of design for this kind of new PMSM.
