| Summary: | This paper provides an overview of the design and analysis of high-speed PM motors by focusing on prominent issues such as motor losses, temperature rise, rotor strength and vibration. The design challenges of high-speed PM motors are briefly described, and the application of various stator and rotor structures and materials is presented in electromagnetic design. Combined with the temperature distribution of the motor, various heat dissipation measures to suppress the temperature rise are summarized. Strength and dynamics analysis of the rotor are outlined with respect to the safety of rotor operation. The current status of coupled multi-physics domain design used to improve the comprehensive design capability of high-speed PM motors is reviewed. Future directions of technologies related to the design of high-speed PM motors are pointed out.
