A Combined Experimental and Finite Element Analysis Method for the Estimation of Eddy-Current Loss in NdFeB Magnets
نویسندگان
چکیده
NdFeB permanent magnets (PMs) are widely used in high performance electrical machines, but their relatively high conductivity subjects them to eddy current losses that can lead to magnetization loss. The Finite Element (FE) method is generally used to quantify the eddy current loss of PMs, but it remains quite difficult to validate the accuracy of the results with complex devices. In this paper, an experimental test device is used in order to extract the eddy current losses that are then compared with those of a 3D FE model.

Modelling of Eddy-current Losses in a Surface-mounted Ndfeb Permanent-magnet Generator
In a surface-mounted sintered NdFeB permanent-magnet generator, the magnets are usually thin (typically 4 mm), and hence the armature reaction, due to the time harmonics in the stator currents, is high. NdFeB magnets are conducting (resistivity typically 1.6 μΩm) and experience eddy-current losses. Therefore, the combined eddy-current losses in the NdFeB magnets and a solid iron rotor may becom...
متن کاملModeling of Eddy Current Loss and temperature of the magnets in Permanent magnet Machines
The eddy current loss in the magnets of permanent magnet (PM) motors in a hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) and plug-in HEV is usually not taken into consideration in traditional motor design and analysis. However, due to the high conductivity of the rare-earth magnet, neodymium-iron-boron (NdFeB), and slot/tooth harmonics, there is eddy current loss generated inside the magnets. This loss may not ...
