Abstract: This paper presents the design process of a high
performance 3-phase 3.7 kW 2-pole line start permanent magnet
synchronous motor for pumping system. A method was proposed to
study the starting torque characteristics considering line start with
high inertia load. A d-q model including cage was built to study the
synchronization capability. Time-stepping finite element method
analysis was utilized to accurately predict the dynamic and transient
performance, efficiency, starting current, speed curve and etc.
Considering the load torque of pumps during starting stage, the rotor
bar was designed with minimum demagnetization of permanent
magnet caused by huge starting current.
Abstract: In Line start permanent magnet synchronous motor, eccentricity is a common fault that can make it necessary to remove the motor from the production line. However, because the motor may be inaccessible, diagnosing the fault is not easy. This paper presents an FEM that identifies different models, static eccentricity, dynamic eccentricity, and mixed eccentricity, at no load and full load. The method overcomes the difficulty of applying FEMs to transient behavior. It simulates motor speed, torque and flux density distribution along the air gap for SE,DE, and ME. This paper represents the various effects of different eccentricitiestypes on the transient performance.
Abstract: The line start permanent magnet motor (LSPMM)
combines a permanent magnet rotor for a better motor efficiency
during synchronous running with an induction motor squirrel cage
rotor to permit the motor starting by direct coupling to power source.
In this paper effect of the rotor structure on a line start synchronous
permanent magnet motor (LSPMM) is analyzed. LSPMM motor with
three different structures for rotor is designed by using RMxprt
software; efficiency and line current of LSPMM motor for different
structures in full-load condition have been presented. The results
indicate that with correct choosing of rotor structure, maximum
efficiency can be found.
