Especially in high-speed applications these losses contribute a proportion of the total losses which can be significant. In literature existing analytical loss calculation approaches are generally validated by numerical Finite Element Method (FEM) simulations and, however, have hardly been verified by experimental measurements. In this paper the eddy current losses of permanent magnets are investigated by an analytical loss calculation approach which is verified by FEM computations. Furthermore, the results are validated by a measuring setup which determines the AC loss in permanent magnets by a double coil measuring arrangement. The relative conductivity of the permanent magnet is an uncertain parameter for eddy current loss calculations. Therefore it is determined metrologically. The measuring arrangement which is used for this purpose is introduced. As a result important conclusions regarding the calculation and measurement of AC losses in permanent magnets are achieved.","PeriodicalId":121418,"journal":{"name":"2016 6th International Electric Drives Production Conference (EDPC)","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131864555","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One possible way to reach these goals is to increase the slot filling factor. As yet, most research has either been focused on optimizing the slot geometry with a given magnet wire diameter or on finding the optimal diameter for a given geometry. Oftentimes the submitted results lead either to a magnetically suboptimal stator geometry or the suggested winding pattern and geometries are not producible. The introduction of the needle winding technology, as an alternative to the insertion technology for the manufacturing of stators of automotive traction machines, enabled a defined wire placement in the slot. To use the full benefit of this advantage an optimal and producible winding layout is necessary. Therefore, in this article new optimization algorithms are proposed and compared to algorithms found in literature with regard to reachable slot filling factors and producibility. In a case study, the best performing algorithm was used to obtain an optimal combination of wire diameter and slot geometry to maximize the filling factor. With the proposed algorithm feasible winding patterns and slot geometries with an optimized filling factor can be obtained.","PeriodicalId":121418,"journal":{"name":"2016 6th International Electric Drives Production Conference (EDPC)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130944150","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, first approaches are shown to apply AM to the production of rotors for permanent magnet synchronous machines (PMSM). The possibilities of a lightweight design with a low moment of inertia as well as the influence on the magnetic anisotropy for an improved sensorless control of PMSM are pointed out.

Often the manufacturing processes of the process step cutting are compared to highlight differences. Many publications have already dealt with this issue over several decades. Flux distribution, loss and the B-H characteristics are not the same, whether an electrical sheet with defined geometry is cut with a laser, water jet, electrical discharge machining, rotational cutting or with a punching machine. It is adequately researched that differences in loss behavior occur. Within the various technologies, a comparison of varied production parameters is scarcer. Here, interesting studies result when considering the specific hysteresis and eddy current losses in the variation of the process parameters on the relative position of the rolling direction, average speed, distance energy and the comparison between fiber and CO2-Laser with different focus diameters. This paper deals with the comparison of cut sheets made from electrical steel with grade M270 35A. The metal strips investigated were prepared on dimensions of 150×150 mm and 37,5×150 mm using the above parameter variation and analyzed in a single sheet tester from Brockhaus regarding their loss behavior.","PeriodicalId":121418,"journal":{"name":"2016 6th International Electric Drives Production Conference (EDPC)","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126813178","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The lamination stacks are often compressed by means of axial pressure to create a compact and robust magnetic core. This work focuses on the influence of axial pressure on the rotor lamination stack from a new low cost rotor assembly. A setup is constructed to measure the influence of axial mechanical pressure on the magnetic properties of ring core samples made of electric steel. Extensive measurements at different values of axial mechanical pressure are conducted. From the measured data, an iron loss model is parametrized. The influence of axial mechanical pressure on the hysteresis losses and the eddy current losses is discussed.

Because of the nearly sinusoidal magnetic field inside, the stator design with distributed windings, which is typically produced with the insert technique, is technically preferred. The insert technique offers a high productivity because the complete winding assembling process can be done in one step. This results in the fact, that nearly 80% of all electric motors worldwide have distributed windings. In order to enhance the possibilities for distributed windings with the insert technique, the current fill factor needs to be improved. Due to the fact that the actual wire placement cannot be measured und thus not optimized, a simulative approach with a multi-body simulation is used to understand the process interactions between the wires, the stator groove and the tool. This approach will be presented in this paper.","PeriodicalId":121418,"journal":{"name":"2016 6th International Electric Drives Production Conference (EDPC)","volume":"2946 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127453835","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
