Abstract
Power losses from motors and drives can decrease their efficiency. The development of devices with high efficiency is a necessity nowadays, with a view to reducing CO2 emissions. The application of new magnetic materials is one method for increasing the efficiency of motors, although prediction and calculation of the losses in the magnetic circuits of motors are also very important. To reduce the iron losses, iron powder composites are used here instead of Fe-Si laminated steel sheets, in a low-power switched reluctance motor (SRM), and a new method of determining the iron loss in the magnetic circuit is developed. Through the use of new materials in the motor, we can achieve a 19% decrease in the iron loss in comparison to a commercial motor. A comparison of the measurement results for our new method of iron loss prediction showed that the difference is approximately 20-26%, depending on the type of magnetic circuit used for the motor. The usage of soft magnetic composites rather than electrical steel sheets can decrease the loss in magnetic circuits. The results from our new method of determination of iron loss are in good agreement with results of measurements, meaning that it can be applied in a detailed analysis of SRMs. The application of soft magnetic composites in electromagnetic and electromechanical converters is a new method for lowering iron losses in new devices. The determination of such losses in SRMs is still challenging, and the proposed method broadens the state of the art in this area. The method developed here is based on motor current measurements, FEM calculations, and measurements of the magnetisation curves and iron loss for samples according to IEC standards. The results obtained in this work can be used by designers for the development of new kinds of SRMs.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Magnetism and Magnetic Materials provides an important forum for the disclosure and discussion of original contributions covering the whole spectrum of topics, from basic magnetism to the technology and applications of magnetic materials. The journal encourages greater interaction between the basic and applied sub-disciplines of magnetism with comprehensive review articles, in addition to full-length contributions. In addition, other categories of contributions are welcome, including Critical Focused issues, Current Perspectives and Outreach to the General Public.
Main Categories:
Full-length articles:
Technically original research documents that report results of value to the communities that comprise the journal audience. The link between chemical, structural and microstructural properties on the one hand and magnetic properties on the other hand are encouraged.
In addition to general topics covering all areas of magnetism and magnetic materials, the full-length articles also include three sub-sections, focusing on Nanomagnetism, Spintronics and Applications.
The sub-section on Nanomagnetism contains articles on magnetic nanoparticles, nanowires, thin films, 2D materials and other nanoscale magnetic materials and their applications.
The sub-section on Spintronics contains articles on magnetoresistance, magnetoimpedance, magneto-optical phenomena, Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS), and other topics related to spin current control and magneto-transport phenomena. The sub-section on Applications display papers that focus on applications of magnetic materials. The applications need to show a connection to magnetism.
Review articles:
Review articles organize, clarify, and summarize existing major works in the areas covered by the Journal and provide comprehensive citations to the full spectrum of relevant literature.
