Design and analysis of a 200 W ferrite magnet Syn.RM for E.V. applications

Abstract

This paper presents a conventional, effective and reliable procedure for designing of a 4-pole, 1500 rpm, 200 W ferrite magnet assisted synchronous reluctance motor (FM-SynRM) targeting electric vehicle application. The particular design is a developed model of permanent magnet (PM) assisted synchronous reluctance Motor. Ferrite magnet (FM) is a low cost material, that’s why it will decrease the production cost. The main motivation towards the work is to reduce the manufacturing cost of the rotor without compromising the performance of this particular motor by replacing permanent magnets (PM) with ferrite magnets (FM). The design is verified using standard finite element method (FEM) packages.
