In order to study the interaction of electromagnetic fields and temperature fields in a motor, the iron loss curve at different frequencies of silicon steel and the B-H curve at different temperatures of the permanent magnet (PM) were obtained to establish the electromagnetic model of the permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM). Then, unidirectional and bidirectional coupling models were established and analyzed based on the multi-physical field. By establishing a bidirectional coupling model, the temperature field distribution and electromagnetic characteristics of the motor were analyzed. The interaction between temperature and electromagnetic field was studied. Finally, the temperature of the PMSM was tested. The results showed that the bidirectional coupling results were closer to the test result because of the consideration of the interaction between electromagnetic and thermal fields.
