Torque Characteristic Analysis of an IM/PM Hybrid Motor by Using Finite Element Method

Abstract:

This paper presents torque characteristic analysis of synchronous induction motors called “IM/PM hybrid motors” by using the two-dimensional finite element method taking terminal voltage into account. The slip characteristics are analyzed by using multi-meshes corresponding to each rotor position, because the transient numerical analysis is quite difficult due to slip even two-dimensional analysis. There are many researches on IM/PM hybrid motors, however the torque characteristics when they are operating as an induction motor have not yet examined sufficiently. In this paper, we tried to explore how to improve the torque characteristics even operating as an induction motor by incorporating the embedded permanent magnets. The results show that the arrangement of the permanent magnets is very important to improve whole torque characteristics.
