Abstract

This paper investigates the rotor cavity positioning and the combination of stator slot and rotor effective slot number on the eddy-current loss for interior permanent-magnet/reluctance machines operating under deep field-weakening conditions. A new closed-form expression for the stator and rotor eddy-current loss is developed. The optimal barrier-positioning for the minimum total loss and the effect on the eddy-current loss of varying the stator slot and rotor effective slot number are investigated for one-, two-, three-, and full-layered rotors.
