Due to structural features, the magnetic flux of the air gap is imbalanced. Furthermore, torque ripple increases due to even harmonics of back electromotive force (back EMF). In this article, we propose an asymmetric design method to reduce torque ripple and magnet usage in consequent pole (CP) surface permanent magnet synchronous motor (SPMSM). First, the iron and magnet pole areas are selected asymmetrically to increase torque and reduce torque ripple. Second, the N pole of the CP-SPMSM (CP-Npole) and the S pole of the CP-SPMSM (CP-Spole) are combined in the axial direction to reduce the even harmonics of back EMF. An air gap is inserted between the two CP-SPMSMs to reduce axial leakage caused by the combination of opposing poles. Then, the location and axis length of the iron pole are designed asymmetrically. Torque ripple is further reduced by reducing the harmonics multiple of 6 of the back EMF. Finally, we compare the electromagnetic characteristics of SPMSM and CP-Npole with the proposed model. The proposed model reduces torque ripple and increases torque per permanent magnet usage. We performed the finite-element analysis in 3-D to analyze all models’ axial electromagnetic characteristics.","PeriodicalId":13405,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Magnetics","volume":"60 10","pages":"1-5"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141942471","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This setting is particularly relevant to passive heating of metallic objects, such as radio frequency (RF) shields, in the bore of a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) device. Previous studies have primarily focused on eddy current induced by a single driving coil or in a spatially uniform field. When multiple coils act on an object simultaneously, electric field interference needs to be properly accounted for in order to obtain accurate prediction of heating. Motivated by eddy current from MRI gradient coils, we focus on the low-frequency regime, where the conductive objects’ response is predominantly resistive. Based on the time-domain Maxwell’s equations, we derive a systematic method to calculate spatially resolved heating power density inside a conductive object. The method was tested against experimental measurement of temperature rise of stainless steel mesh in the bore of a human brain MRI scanner. The proposed method can be used to predict and mitigate heating of metallic components used in medical and scientific instruments that employ time-dependent and spatially varying magnetic fields.","PeriodicalId":13405,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Magnetics","volume":"60 10","pages":"1-10"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141868134","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The impact of skin effect on the flux redistribution is integrated on the hysteresis loss, classical loss, and the excess loss. Given the fact that the flux redistribution is linked to the electrical resistivity and the permeability of the electrical steel laminations, this flux redistribution changes with the exploitation temperature of the material in the electrical machine. The proposed methodology extends the known loss models for the excess loss by using a dedicated excess loss coefficient below and above the maximum permeability of the magnetization graph to reflect the difference in skin effect behavior. While a change of temperature from 20 ° C to 200 ° C implies a resistivity change of 70%, hence the expected impact on the excess loss is 23% (according to the square root of the inverse of the resistivity), however, the excess loss changes with 70% due to the temperature effect on the skin effect. This enhanced model performance will assist machine design efficiency and, furthermore, allows for a clear link to the physical material parameters to be established.","PeriodicalId":13405,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Magnetics","volume":"60 9","pages":"1-5"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-07-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141868135","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The implemented 3-D finite element model (FEM) can calculate the relative permeability of different particle arrangements in the form of a geometric replication of a volume section of the SMC material. We demonstrate the determination of the relative permeability in dependency of the volume fraction from an SMC material with the simulation, and the results are consistent with established analytical formulas, based on the demagnetization factor and relative permeability of the soft magnetic particles. The utilization of cubic atomic lattice structures is investigated in respect of reducing the computational complexity. The four atomic lattice structures introduced here each correspond to a fixed volume fraction. By varying the relative permeability of the soft magnetic particles, the simulation results reveal a maximum achievable relative permeability for the polydisperse cubic face-centered particle structure of 45.5. Furthermore, the relative permeability of several self-manufactured toroidal SMC cores with different particle size distributions was measured, and we investigated the measurement uncertainty in detail. The measurement results indicate that the particle size distribution has no influence on the relative permeability of the compound material. Especially, the simulation model of the monodisperse cubic primitive particle structure with a volume fraction of 52.36% replicates the measurement results with high conformity. In conclusion, it is possible to simplify the random particle structure in SMC materials within a specific range of volume fractions. Thereby, for volume fractions over 50%, a tradeoff between model complexity and accuracy is necessary.","PeriodicalId":13405,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Magnetics","volume":"60 9","pages":"1-8"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-07-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141868189","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
