Abstract :
Summary form only given. The author considers the design opportunities which Nd-Fe-B magnets offer in various classes and topologies of permanent magnet excited machine. This is done by taking a quick tour through the industrial drive, computer peripheral, consumer product, aerospace, and automotive market sectors and describing some specific applications. Some of the design considerations for the successful utilisation of Nd-Fe-B are highlighted
