Line-Start Permanent-Magnet Motor Single-Phase Steady-State Performance Analysis

Improvement to Performance of Solid-rotor- Ringed Line-start Axial-flux Permanent- Magnet Motor

This paper presents two design-and-analysis cases of a linestart axial-flux permanent-magnet motor: with solid rotor and with composite rotor. For a novel structure of the motor, two concentric unilevel spaced raised rings are added to the inner and outer radii of its rotors to enable auto-start capability. The composite rotor was coated by a thin (0.05 mm) layer of copper. The basic equations ...

Steady-State and Transient Performance Analysis of Permanent-Magnet Machines Using Time-Stepping Finite Element Technique

Slot-less Torus Solid-rotor-ringed Line-start Axial-flux Permanent-magnet Motor

This paper presents the design, analysis, and prototyping of a novel axial-flux permanent-magnet (AFPM) motor capable of auto-starting. The preliminary design is a slot-less double-sided solid-rotor line-start AFPM motor with 4 poles for high torque density and stable rotation. One spaced raised ring was added to the inner radii of the rotor disc for smooth line-start motor. The design allows t...

Review of Design and Performance of Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor

Permanent magnet synchronous motor(PMSM) is a exceedingly efficient motor and is successfully operated in a wide range of speed. Various types of permanent magnet synchronous motors are accessible in the market offering advantages of direct on line starting as induction motor and effectively running on synchronous speed. Major disadvantages of PMSM is uncertainty of successfully synchronization...

Power Factor Correction in Permanent Magnet Brushless Dc Motor Drive Using Single-phase Cuk Converter

Permanent magnet brushless DC motor (PMBLDCM) drives are being employed in many variable speed applications due to their high efficiency, silent operation, compact size, high reliability, ease of control, and low maintenance requirements. These drives have power quality problems and poor power factor at input AC mains as they are mostly fed through diode bridge rectifier based voltage source in...
