Description
Summary:Reasonable end effect equivalence is of vital importance in the 2-D finite element analysis (FEA) for a line-start permanent magnet synchronous motor (LSPMSM) equipped with a hybrid solid rotor for improved starting and synchronous capabilities. In this work, a series of correction factors are applied to the rotor conductivity to include the end effect in the 2-D FEA model. Derivation of these correction factors completes after the separation of different torque components. A dynamic motor model of the LSPMSM is established with some parameters extracted from the 2-D FEA using the conductivity correction. Outcomes of this model exhibit good agreements with the 3-D FEA results, by which the introduced correction factors are validated to possess the acceptable precision and effectiveness.
