Rotors of the ultra-high-speed PMSM are always subject to extreme conditions, such as high speed and high temperature. To improve the bending stiffness and strength of the rotor, ultra-high-speed PMSMs generally use a special rotor construction, in which a cylindrical PM magnetized in parallel is interference- fitted into a metallic sleeve; therefore, the rotor has single pole pairs, and each half of the magnet has a 180 ° electric pole arc (the pole embrace is equal to 1), as shown in Figure 1.

1 Introduction

With advancements in new materials electrical and elec-tronics control technology etc the speed limits of rotatingmachines are being pushed higher and ultra-high-speedmotors are increasingly used in industry applications [1]Particularly in recent times the high-speed PMSM hasattracted more attention due to its high efficiency simplestructure high power density and small size [2 3] forexample it can be used as the driving motor for the fuel cellair blower [4 5] as an air centrifugal compressor [6] or asthe generator of a micro-gas turbine [7]

It is very significant to calculate the electromagnetictorque because it can be used to check the motor powerestimate noise and vibration and provide further guidancefor the motor control It is well known that the electro-magnetic torque is generated from the interaction of thePM field and the armature reaction field therefore how todetermine the above two magnetic fields becomes keyPMSMs often adopt a surface-mounted PM rotor and thiskind of rotor as seen in most relevant literatures [8 9] has

a common characteristic which is that the magnetic polearc is less than a pole pitch (the pole embrace is less than1) which means the air space between the magnets isoccupied by unmagnetized materials such as air or alu-minum alloy Rotors of the ultra-high-speed PMSM arealways subject to extreme conditions such as high speedand high temperature To improve the bending stiffnessand strength of the rotor ultra-high-speed PMSMsgenerally use a special rotor construction in which acylindrical PM magnetized in parallel is interference-fitted into a metallic sleeve therefore the rotor has singlepole pairs and each half of the magnet has a 180deg electricpole arc (the pole embrace is equal to 1) as shown inFigure 1 As mentioned in the literature [10] existinganalytical methods are successful only in certain cir-cumstances and are likely to fail in others for examplewhen the magnets have a 180deg electric pole arc In theliterature [11] study an open-circuit magnetostatic fieldsolution to a 2-pole rotor with a diametrically magnetizedsintered NdFeB magnet was given for a 20000 rpm 3-phase brushless PM dc motor Recently the literature [12]

gave analytical solutions to the PM field of bipolar rotorswith ring or cylindrical PMs that are magnetized inparallel Nevertheless most relevant literature studies onanalytical models for predicting the armature reactionfield distribution are successful for the motor owing tothe high permeability shaft [13] however few studiesinvolve the hollow stator bore as shown in Figure 2(b)

For ultra-high-speed PMSMs including a stator withoverlapping windings and 2-pole parallel magnetizedcylindrical PMs analytical solutions to the magnetic fieldand corresponding electromagnetic torque are rarely re-ported at present which has resulted in a prolonged motordesign cycle to evaluating the motor performance Due tothe need of cooling and reduction of pulse torque theultra-high-speed PMSM generally adopts a large air gaphereupon the slot effect is very weak -erefore the as-sumption of ldquoslotless stator + equivalent current sheetrdquocan be introduced and some convenient formulas ofestimating motor performance are expected to beobtained

Hence this paper will first deduce the magnetic fieldthen obtain the electromagnetic driving torque by using thePoynting theorem andMaxwell stress tensor and then verifythe correctness by using the FE method In addition thecogging torque the back-electromotive force (emf) andarmature reaction inductance are calculated compared anddiscussed A 10 kW 120000 rpm prototype is designed andmanufactured and the no-load back-emf is checked by a60000 rpm free coast experiment

2 Analytical Model

-e cross section of the ultra-high-speed PMSMs is shown inFigure 1 in which slotted stator and distribution winding areused and the rotor is composed by installing a cylindricalparallel polarized PM into the metallic sleeve

For the sintered NdFeB magnet the demagnetizationcurve is approximately a straight line and the relativerecoil permeability μr is approximate to that of air μr waschosen from 1029ndash1100 in most literatures To simplifythe field calculation the following assumptions aremade

(1) -e PM has a linear second-quadrant de-magnetization curve and the permeability of thestator iron is infinite

(2) -e winding end effect and rotor eddy current areneglected

(3) -e PM field is calculated with a 2D solution byassuming a smooth stator surface that is the slottingis neglected as shown in Figure 2(a)

(4) Conductors in the stator slot can be equivalent to thecurrent sheet distributing evenly along the slotopening as shown in Figure 2(b)

In the calculation of the PM field the slot-opening effectis neglected therefore the calculation model of the PM fieldis shown in Figure 2(a) where R1 and R2 are the outer radius

and the inner radius of the PM and I and II represent thePM and the air region respectively

-e sleeve applies to a low permeability alloy which canbe physically equivalent to the air therefore in the calcu-lation model of the armature reaction field the stator boreseems to be full of air as shown in Figure 2(b) where b0 isthe width of the slot opening

-e loaded magnetic field is the superposition of theopen-circuit PM and the armature reaction field and theloaded air-gap flux density is defined as follows

reaction field is as follows the single conductor field issolved first and then the single-turn coil field can beobtained by adding two single conductor fields at a polardistance apart from each other Whereupon the single-phase winding field is superpositioned onto fields that areexcited by the multiple single-turn coils and finally thearmature reaction field can be calculated by super-imposing the fields of three-phase winding

For distributed winding multiple single-turn coil fieldsthat are a pitch apart from each other can be equivalent to aconcentrated winding by taking into account the distribu-tion coefficient and the pitch-shortening coefficient -eabove-mentioned treatment will lightly change higherharmonic components of the armature reaction field butvastly simplify the solution of the single-phase winding fieldwith good accuracy In addition it is assumed that in-stantaneous three-phase currents (ia ib ic) only involvefundamental components and they can be written asfollows

3 Example Validation

To verify the analytic solution to the electromagnetic torquea locked-rotor simulation is carried out by the FEMmethod-e motor parameters are listed in Table 1

In the simulation the windings are fed by a symmetricalthree-phase alternating current to produce a rotating ar-mature reaction field but the rotor speed is set to zero thatis the rotor is locked When the armature reaction fieldrotates relative to the rotor with the angular velocity ω thelocked-rotor torque will generate and vary periodically withδ (an angle between two axes of the armature reaction fieldand PM field and it changes periodically from 0 to 360degrees) -e locked-rotor phenomenon can be applied toverify the electromagnetic torque of equation (16) andequation (18)

When the motor is fed with currents as shown inequation (7) the locked-rotor torques are as shown inFigure 3 -ree kinds of input currents of 2000Hz withdifferent amplitudes such as 10A 30A and 50A areconsidered Figure 3(a) shows the three-phase currents witha 10A peak value in FEM -e locked-rotor torque curvesobtained by FEM are shown in Figure 3(b) which shows thatthe locked-rotor torque is also sinusoidal with time and itspeak value is increased with the increasing amplitude of thephase current A comparison of the results of FEM and theanalytical model is illustrated in Figure 3(c) in which it canbe found that the analytical solution is in good agreementwith the FEM solution

Peak torques obtained by the FE model are comparedwith those from the derived analytical equations-e resultswhich are listed in Table 2 show that the errors are less than5 which proves the correctness of equation (16) andequation (18)

-emagnetic field results that were calculated by FEM areshown in Figure 4 where red and blue conductors indicate the

current flows out of and into the cross section respectively Inaddition the PMhas a parallel magnetization (the direction ofthe magnetization is vertically upward)

Because the PM field is much larger than the armaturereaction field the magnetic fields of the motor in Figure 4 atdifferent times are approximately the same At 02ms thelocked-rotor torque in Figure 3(b) is negative and thecorresponding motor magnetic field is shown in Figure 4(a)in which the armature reaction field lags behind the PM fieldby approximately 135 degrees which just causes a negativetorque Moreover the armature reaction field weakens thePM field the maximum flux density occurs in the statortooth and its value is 138 T At 04ms the locked-rotortorque equals zero as shown in Figure 3(b) and the cor-responding motor magnetic field is shown in Figure 4(b)where the armature reaction field coincides with the PMfield which verifies the null torque At 04ms the maximumflux density of the stator tooth is 170 T At 05ms thelocked-rotor torque approaches the maximum as shown inFigure 3(b) and the corresponding motor magnetic field isshown in Figure 4(c) It can be seen that the armature re-action field direction is left (90 degrees ahead of the PMfield) which verifies the maximum torque At 05ms themaximum flux density of the stator tooth is 160 T

-ree methods namely the FM method the air-gappermeance method [10] and the subdomain method wereused to estimate the cogging torque and the results areshown in Figure 5 -e air-gap permeance method is basedon the assumption that the flux crosses the magnet and airgap in a straight line wherever a magnet faces a toothHowever the above assumption will no longer be suitablefor the motor mentioned in the paper because the flux willbend in the air gap as shown in Figure 5(a) the coggingtorque calculated by the air-gap permeance method is smallrelative to that from FEM and the subdomain method asshown in Figure 5(b) -e cogging torque peak is approx-imately 370 μNm and is 005 of the rated torque (08Nm)which is too small to be ignored In fact some degrees ofharmonic components will exist in the polarized PM thusthe cogging torque peak will increase

-e stator tooth tips in relation to the width of the slotopenings also influence the back-emf waveform When theheight of the tooth tips is small magnetic saturation existsand the emf waveform tends to be a trapezoid Howeverwhen the tooth tip height is too large the emf waveform willdeteriorate [11] -e motor consists of a stator having 12

teeth which carry overlapping winding -e no-load back-emf waveform obtained from the FEM is displayed inFigure 6(a) and the emf waveform is almost purely sinu-soidal which is ideal for ultra-high-speed PMSMs As shownin Figure 5(a) a stator tooth has the maximum flux density1542 T which does not reach the saturation region of thematerial-e comparison of the no-load back-emf calculatedby equation (20) and that of FEM is shown in Figure 6(b)which manifests a good agreement of both methodsFigure 6(c) shows the prototype of the PMSM in which therotor is supported by gas foil bearings and the experimentalresults are shown in Figure 6(d) A coast-down test under60000 rmin is carried out that is the frequency converterwill shut down when the rotor is stable at 60000 rmin and

then the rotor speed will decrease to zero gradually byovercoming air friction In this process the stator has a back-emf but no current thereupon the rotor is not subjected tothe electromagnetic force Hereupon the curve of a no-loadback-emf vs speed can be achieved -e experimental anddesign values of the no-load back-emf are 570V and 596 Vat 746Hz respectively and the difference between them iswithin 46

-e results of Lad and Laq are shown in Figure 7 It canbe found that Lad and Laq are same when current is smalland both of them decrease with the increase of the currentBecause the d-axial magnetic circuit is more saturated Laddescends faster -e magnetic saturation is neglected inthe analytical method whereas Lad not varies with thecurrent

When IRms 10A and 100A the errors of the twomethods are 9 and 2 respectively It shows that theresults of the analytical method and FEM are very close Inthe analytical method only the fundamental harmonic isused to calculate the flux linkage However in the FEMexcept for the fundamental harmonic high-order harmonics

are also taken into account in the flux linkage -erefore theresult of the analytical method is smaller than that of FEM

It is worth noting that the stator tooth has the mostserious saturation as shown in Figure 8(a) and the fluxdensities reach 2086 T and 1880 T when IRms 100A(28IN) and 50A (14IN) respectively IN denotes the ratedcurrent of the motor -e working points of stator toothcorresponding to the both working condition are illustratedin Figure 8(b) It shows that the working point is located atthe end of the linear segment of the B-H curve whenIRms 14IN It indicates that the magnetic saturation of thestator iron is not prominent when the prototype worksunder rated working conditions and it applies to the pro-posed analytical method in this paper

In addition in order to enhance the cooling of the rotorthe air gap should be chosen as large as possible so thatmagnetic saturation in the tooth tips rarely occurs Fur-thermore the teeth in a 12-slot stator are diametricallysymmetrical the air-gap field distribution is symmetrical

and no unbalanced magnetic pull will exist if the rotor andstator axes are coincident Although the rotor rotates ec-centrically with respect to the stator in fact the eccentricityis too tiny due to the constraint of bearings to cause a notableunbalanced magnetic pull

4 Conclusion

For the ultra-high-speed PMSM including a stator withoverlapping windings and the 2-pole parallel magnetizedcylindrical PM electromagnetic torques are rarely reportedat present which leads to a prolonged motor design cycle toevaluating motor performance -erefore the work of thispaper is as follows

(1) -is paper deduces the analytical solution to theelectromagnetic driving torque of ultra-high-speedPMSMs which is verified by the FE methodaccording to locked-rotor simulation -e resultsshow that the electromagnetic torque is pro-portional to the length of stator iron the ampereturns per unit length of the stator inner surface andthe magnetization while it is proportional to thesquare of the ratio ie PM radius to stator innerradius

(2) -e cogging torque back-emf armature reactioninductance and so on are calculated compared anddiscussed For the PMSM studied in the paper theair-gap permeance method was shown not to beapplicable to the estimation of the cogging torquedue to the fact that the flux bends in the air gap andthus a high-accuracy method (eg the subdomainmethod) should be adopted

(3) A prototype is designed and manufactured and theno-load back-emf is checked by a 60000 rpm freecoast experiment -e experimental and designvalues of the no-load back-emf are 570 V and 596V

at 746Hz respectively and the difference betweenthem is within 46

gave analytical solutions to the PM field of bipolar rotorswith ring or cylindrical PMs that are magnetized inparallel Nevertheless most relevant literature studies onanalytical models for predicting the armature reactionfield distribution are successful for the motor owing tothe high permeability shaft [13] however few studiesinvolve the hollow stator bore as shown in Figure 2(b)

For ultra-high-speed PMSMs including a stator withoverlapping windings and 2-pole parallel magnetizedcylindrical PMs analytical solutions to the magnetic fieldand corresponding electromagnetic torque are rarely re-ported at present which has resulted in a prolonged motordesign cycle to evaluating the motor performance Due tothe need of cooling and reduction of pulse torque theultra-high-speed PMSM generally adopts a large air gaphereupon the slot effect is very weak -erefore the as-sumption of ldquoslotless stator + equivalent current sheetrdquocan be introduced and some convenient formulas ofestimating motor performance are expected to beobtained

Hence this paper will first deduce the magnetic fieldthen obtain the electromagnetic driving torque by using thePoynting theorem andMaxwell stress tensor and then verifythe correctness by using the FE method In addition thecogging torque the back-electromotive force (emf) andarmature reaction inductance are calculated compared anddiscussed A 10 kW 120000 rpm prototype is designed andmanufactured and the no-load back-emf is checked by a60000 rpm free coast experiment

2 Analytical Model

-e cross section of the ultra-high-speed PMSMs is shown inFigure 1 in which slotted stator and distribution winding areused and the rotor is composed by installing a cylindricalparallel polarized PM into the metallic sleeve

For the sintered NdFeB magnet the demagnetizationcurve is approximately a straight line and the relativerecoil permeability μr is approximate to that of air μr waschosen from 1029ndash1100 in most literatures To simplifythe field calculation the following assumptions aremade

(1) -e PM has a linear second-quadrant de-magnetization curve and the permeability of thestator iron is infinite

(2) -e winding end effect and rotor eddy current areneglected

(3) -e PM field is calculated with a 2D solution byassuming a smooth stator surface that is the slottingis neglected as shown in Figure 2(a)

(4) Conductors in the stator slot can be equivalent to thecurrent sheet distributing evenly along the slotopening as shown in Figure 2(b)

In the calculation of the PM field the slot-opening effectis neglected therefore the calculation model of the PM fieldis shown in Figure 2(a) where R1 and R2 are the outer radius

and the inner radius of the PM and I and II represent thePM and the air region respectively

-e sleeve applies to a low permeability alloy which canbe physically equivalent to the air therefore in the calcu-lation model of the armature reaction field the stator boreseems to be full of air as shown in Figure 2(b) where b0 isthe width of the slot opening

-e loaded magnetic field is the superposition of theopen-circuit PM and the armature reaction field and theloaded air-gap flux density is defined as follows

reaction field is as follows the single conductor field issolved first and then the single-turn coil field can beobtained by adding two single conductor fields at a polardistance apart from each other Whereupon the single-phase winding field is superpositioned onto fields that areexcited by the multiple single-turn coils and finally thearmature reaction field can be calculated by super-imposing the fields of three-phase winding

For distributed winding multiple single-turn coil fieldsthat are a pitch apart from each other can be equivalent to aconcentrated winding by taking into account the distribu-tion coefficient and the pitch-shortening coefficient -eabove-mentioned treatment will lightly change higherharmonic components of the armature reaction field butvastly simplify the solution of the single-phase winding fieldwith good accuracy In addition it is assumed that in-stantaneous three-phase currents (ia ib ic) only involvefundamental components and they can be written asfollows

magnetomotive force (mmf) harmonics and the airgappermeance harmonics hence it exists in almost all types ofmotors in which the airgap permeance is not constant -ecogging torque will cause undesirable speed pulsationsvibrations possible resonance and acoustic noise [10] Forthe motor shown in Figure (1) because the radial andtangential components of the magnetic flux density vectoras presented in equation (11) are pure sinusoidal the mmfharmonics only contain the fundamental component andthe cogging torque is caused by stator slots In fact thecogging torque can also be calculated by equation (17)however HIIr and HIIθ should be replaced by HPM

3 Example Validation

To verify the analytic solution to the electromagnetic torquea locked-rotor simulation is carried out by the FEMmethod-e motor parameters are listed in Table 1

In the simulation the windings are fed by a symmetricalthree-phase alternating current to produce a rotating ar-mature reaction field but the rotor speed is set to zero thatis the rotor is locked When the armature reaction fieldrotates relative to the rotor with the angular velocity ω thelocked-rotor torque will generate and vary periodically withδ (an angle between two axes of the armature reaction fieldand PM field and it changes periodically from 0 to 360degrees) -e locked-rotor phenomenon can be applied toverify the electromagnetic torque of equation (16) andequation (18)

When the motor is fed with currents as shown inequation (7) the locked-rotor torques are as shown inFigure 3 -ree kinds of input currents of 2000Hz withdifferent amplitudes such as 10A 30A and 50A areconsidered Figure 3(a) shows the three-phase currents witha 10A peak value in FEM -e locked-rotor torque curvesobtained by FEM are shown in Figure 3(b) which shows thatthe locked-rotor torque is also sinusoidal with time and itspeak value is increased with the increasing amplitude of thephase current A comparison of the results of FEM and theanalytical model is illustrated in Figure 3(c) in which it canbe found that the analytical solution is in good agreementwith the FEM solution

Peak torques obtained by the FE model are comparedwith those from the derived analytical equations-e resultswhich are listed in Table 2 show that the errors are less than5 which proves the correctness of equation (16) andequation (18)

-emagnetic field results that were calculated by FEM areshown in Figure 4 where red and blue conductors indicate the

current flows out of and into the cross section respectively Inaddition the PMhas a parallel magnetization (the direction ofthe magnetization is vertically upward)

Because the PM field is much larger than the armaturereaction field the magnetic fields of the motor in Figure 4 atdifferent times are approximately the same At 02ms thelocked-rotor torque in Figure 3(b) is negative and thecorresponding motor magnetic field is shown in Figure 4(a)in which the armature reaction field lags behind the PM fieldby approximately 135 degrees which just causes a negativetorque Moreover the armature reaction field weakens thePM field the maximum flux density occurs in the statortooth and its value is 138 T At 04ms the locked-rotortorque equals zero as shown in Figure 3(b) and the cor-responding motor magnetic field is shown in Figure 4(b)where the armature reaction field coincides with the PMfield which verifies the null torque At 04ms the maximumflux density of the stator tooth is 170 T At 05ms thelocked-rotor torque approaches the maximum as shown inFigure 3(b) and the corresponding motor magnetic field isshown in Figure 4(c) It can be seen that the armature re-action field direction is left (90 degrees ahead of the PMfield) which verifies the maximum torque At 05ms themaximum flux density of the stator tooth is 160 T

-ree methods namely the FM method the air-gappermeance method [10] and the subdomain method wereused to estimate the cogging torque and the results areshown in Figure 5 -e air-gap permeance method is basedon the assumption that the flux crosses the magnet and airgap in a straight line wherever a magnet faces a toothHowever the above assumption will no longer be suitablefor the motor mentioned in the paper because the flux willbend in the air gap as shown in Figure 5(a) the coggingtorque calculated by the air-gap permeance method is smallrelative to that from FEM and the subdomain method asshown in Figure 5(b) -e cogging torque peak is approx-imately 370 μNm and is 005 of the rated torque (08Nm)which is too small to be ignored In fact some degrees ofharmonic components will exist in the polarized PM thusthe cogging torque peak will increase

-e stator tooth tips in relation to the width of the slotopenings also influence the back-emf waveform When theheight of the tooth tips is small magnetic saturation existsand the emf waveform tends to be a trapezoid Howeverwhen the tooth tip height is too large the emf waveform willdeteriorate [11] -e motor consists of a stator having 12

teeth which carry overlapping winding -e no-load back-emf waveform obtained from the FEM is displayed inFigure 6(a) and the emf waveform is almost purely sinu-soidal which is ideal for ultra-high-speed PMSMs As shownin Figure 5(a) a stator tooth has the maximum flux density1542 T which does not reach the saturation region of thematerial-e comparison of the no-load back-emf calculatedby equation (20) and that of FEM is shown in Figure 6(b)which manifests a good agreement of both methodsFigure 6(c) shows the prototype of the PMSM in which therotor is supported by gas foil bearings and the experimentalresults are shown in Figure 6(d) A coast-down test under60000 rmin is carried out that is the frequency converterwill shut down when the rotor is stable at 60000 rmin and

then the rotor speed will decrease to zero gradually byovercoming air friction In this process the stator has a back-emf but no current thereupon the rotor is not subjected tothe electromagnetic force Hereupon the curve of a no-loadback-emf vs speed can be achieved -e experimental anddesign values of the no-load back-emf are 570V and 596 Vat 746Hz respectively and the difference between them iswithin 46

-e results of Lad and Laq are shown in Figure 7 It canbe found that Lad and Laq are same when current is smalland both of them decrease with the increase of the currentBecause the d-axial magnetic circuit is more saturated Laddescends faster -e magnetic saturation is neglected inthe analytical method whereas Lad not varies with thecurrent

When IRms 10A and 100A the errors of the twomethods are 9 and 2 respectively It shows that theresults of the analytical method and FEM are very close Inthe analytical method only the fundamental harmonic isused to calculate the flux linkage However in the FEMexcept for the fundamental harmonic high-order harmonics

It is worth noting that the stator tooth has the mostserious saturation as shown in Figure 8(a) and the fluxdensities reach 2086 T and 1880 T when IRms 100A(28IN) and 50A (14IN) respectively IN denotes the ratedcurrent of the motor -e working points of stator toothcorresponding to the both working condition are illustratedin Figure 8(b) It shows that the working point is located atthe end of the linear segment of the B-H curve whenIRms 14IN It indicates that the magnetic saturation of thestator iron is not prominent when the prototype worksunder rated working conditions and it applies to the pro-posed analytical method in this paper

In addition in order to enhance the cooling of the rotorthe air gap should be chosen as large as possible so thatmagnetic saturation in the tooth tips rarely occurs Fur-thermore the teeth in a 12-slot stator are diametricallysymmetrical the air-gap field distribution is symmetrical

and no unbalanced magnetic pull will exist if the rotor andstator axes are coincident Although the rotor rotates ec-centrically with respect to the stator in fact the eccentricityis too tiny due to the constraint of bearings to cause a notableunbalanced magnetic pull

4 Conclusion

For the ultra-high-speed PMSM including a stator withoverlapping windings and the 2-pole parallel magnetizedcylindrical PM electromagnetic torques are rarely reportedat present which leads to a prolonged motor design cycle toevaluating motor performance -erefore the work of thispaper is as follows

(1) -is paper deduces the analytical solution to theelectromagnetic driving torque of ultra-high-speedPMSMs which is verified by the FE methodaccording to locked-rotor simulation -e resultsshow that the electromagnetic torque is pro-portional to the length of stator iron the ampereturns per unit length of the stator inner surface andthe magnetization while it is proportional to thesquare of the ratio ie PM radius to stator innerradius

(2) -e cogging torque back-emf armature reactioninductance and so on are calculated compared anddiscussed For the PMSM studied in the paper theair-gap permeance method was shown not to beapplicable to the estimation of the cogging torquedue to the fact that the flux bends in the air gap andthus a high-accuracy method (eg the subdomainmethod) should be adopted

(3) A prototype is designed and manufactured and theno-load back-emf is checked by a 60000 rpm freecoast experiment -e experimental and designvalues of the no-load back-emf are 570 V and 596V

at 746Hz respectively and the difference betweenthem is within 46

reaction field is as follows the single conductor field issolved first and then the single-turn coil field can beobtained by adding two single conductor fields at a polardistance apart from each other Whereupon the single-phase winding field is superpositioned onto fields that areexcited by the multiple single-turn coils and finally thearmature reaction field can be calculated by super-imposing the fields of three-phase winding

For distributed winding multiple single-turn coil fieldsthat are a pitch apart from each other can be equivalent to aconcentrated winding by taking into account the distribu-tion coefficient and the pitch-shortening coefficient -eabove-mentioned treatment will lightly change higherharmonic components of the armature reaction field butvastly simplify the solution of the single-phase winding fieldwith good accuracy In addition it is assumed that in-stantaneous three-phase currents (ia ib ic) only involvefundamental components and they can be written asfollows

To verify the analytic solution to the electromagnetic torquea locked-rotor simulation is carried out by the FEMmethod-e motor parameters are listed in Table 1

In the simulation the windings are fed by a symmetricalthree-phase alternating current to produce a rotating ar-mature reaction field but the rotor speed is set to zero thatis the rotor is locked When the armature reaction fieldrotates relative to the rotor with the angular velocity ω thelocked-rotor torque will generate and vary periodically withδ (an angle between two axes of the armature reaction fieldand PM field and it changes periodically from 0 to 360degrees) -e locked-rotor phenomenon can be applied toverify the electromagnetic torque of equation (16) andequation (18)

When the motor is fed with currents as shown inequation (7) the locked-rotor torques are as shown inFigure 3 -ree kinds of input currents of 2000Hz withdifferent amplitudes such as 10A 30A and 50A areconsidered Figure 3(a) shows the three-phase currents witha 10A peak value in FEM -e locked-rotor torque curvesobtained by FEM are shown in Figure 3(b) which shows thatthe locked-rotor torque is also sinusoidal with time and itspeak value is increased with the increasing amplitude of thephase current A comparison of the results of FEM and theanalytical model is illustrated in Figure 3(c) in which it canbe found that the analytical solution is in good agreementwith the FEM solution

Peak torques obtained by the FE model are comparedwith those from the derived analytical equations-e resultswhich are listed in Table 2 show that the errors are less than5 which proves the correctness of equation (16) andequation (18)

-emagnetic field results that were calculated by FEM areshown in Figure 4 where red and blue conductors indicate the

current flows out of and into the cross section respectively Inaddition the PMhas a parallel magnetization (the direction ofthe magnetization is vertically upward)

Because the PM field is much larger than the armaturereaction field the magnetic fields of the motor in Figure 4 atdifferent times are approximately the same At 02ms thelocked-rotor torque in Figure 3(b) is negative and thecorresponding motor magnetic field is shown in Figure 4(a)in which the armature reaction field lags behind the PM fieldby approximately 135 degrees which just causes a negativetorque Moreover the armature reaction field weakens thePM field the maximum flux density occurs in the statortooth and its value is 138 T At 04ms the locked-rotortorque equals zero as shown in Figure 3(b) and the cor-responding motor magnetic field is shown in Figure 4(b)where the armature reaction field coincides with the PMfield which verifies the null torque At 04ms the maximumflux density of the stator tooth is 170 T At 05ms thelocked-rotor torque approaches the maximum as shown inFigure 3(b) and the corresponding motor magnetic field isshown in Figure 4(c) It can be seen that the armature re-action field direction is left (90 degrees ahead of the PMfield) which verifies the maximum torque At 05ms themaximum flux density of the stator tooth is 160 T

-ree methods namely the FM method the air-gappermeance method [10] and the subdomain method wereused to estimate the cogging torque and the results areshown in Figure 5 -e air-gap permeance method is basedon the assumption that the flux crosses the magnet and airgap in a straight line wherever a magnet faces a toothHowever the above assumption will no longer be suitablefor the motor mentioned in the paper because the flux willbend in the air gap as shown in Figure 5(a) the coggingtorque calculated by the air-gap permeance method is smallrelative to that from FEM and the subdomain method asshown in Figure 5(b) -e cogging torque peak is approx-imately 370 μNm and is 005 of the rated torque (08Nm)which is too small to be ignored In fact some degrees ofharmonic components will exist in the polarized PM thusthe cogging torque peak will increase

-e stator tooth tips in relation to the width of the slotopenings also influence the back-emf waveform When theheight of the tooth tips is small magnetic saturation existsand the emf waveform tends to be a trapezoid Howeverwhen the tooth tip height is too large the emf waveform willdeteriorate [11] -e motor consists of a stator having 12

teeth which carry overlapping winding -e no-load back-emf waveform obtained from the FEM is displayed inFigure 6(a) and the emf waveform is almost purely sinu-soidal which is ideal for ultra-high-speed PMSMs As shownin Figure 5(a) a stator tooth has the maximum flux density1542 T which does not reach the saturation region of thematerial-e comparison of the no-load back-emf calculatedby equation (20) and that of FEM is shown in Figure 6(b)which manifests a good agreement of both methodsFigure 6(c) shows the prototype of the PMSM in which therotor is supported by gas foil bearings and the experimentalresults are shown in Figure 6(d) A coast-down test under60000 rmin is carried out that is the frequency converterwill shut down when the rotor is stable at 60000 rmin and

then the rotor speed will decrease to zero gradually byovercoming air friction In this process the stator has a back-emf but no current thereupon the rotor is not subjected tothe electromagnetic force Hereupon the curve of a no-loadback-emf vs speed can be achieved -e experimental anddesign values of the no-load back-emf are 570V and 596 Vat 746Hz respectively and the difference between them iswithin 46

-e results of Lad and Laq are shown in Figure 7 It canbe found that Lad and Laq are same when current is smalland both of them decrease with the increase of the currentBecause the d-axial magnetic circuit is more saturated Laddescends faster -e magnetic saturation is neglected inthe analytical method whereas Lad not varies with thecurrent

When IRms 10A and 100A the errors of the twomethods are 9 and 2 respectively It shows that theresults of the analytical method and FEM are very close Inthe analytical method only the fundamental harmonic isused to calculate the flux linkage However in the FEMexcept for the fundamental harmonic high-order harmonics

are also taken into account in the flux linkage -erefore theresult of the analytical method is smaller than that of FEM

It is worth noting that the stator tooth has the mostserious saturation as shown in Figure 8(a) and the fluxdensities reach 2086 T and 1880 T when IRms 100A(28IN) and 50A (14IN) respectively IN denotes the ratedcurrent of the motor -e working points of stator toothcorresponding to the both working condition are illustratedin Figure 8(b) It shows that the working point is located atthe end of the linear segment of the B-H curve whenIRms 14IN It indicates that the magnetic saturation of thestator iron is not prominent when the prototype worksunder rated working conditions and it applies to the pro-posed analytical method in this paper

In addition in order to enhance the cooling of the rotorthe air gap should be chosen as large as possible so thatmagnetic saturation in the tooth tips rarely occurs Fur-thermore the teeth in a 12-slot stator are diametricallysymmetrical the air-gap field distribution is symmetrical

and no unbalanced magnetic pull will exist if the rotor andstator axes are coincident Although the rotor rotates ec-centrically with respect to the stator in fact the eccentricityis too tiny due to the constraint of bearings to cause a notableunbalanced magnetic pull

4 Conclusion

For the ultra-high-speed PMSM including a stator withoverlapping windings and the 2-pole parallel magnetizedcylindrical PM electromagnetic torques are rarely reportedat present which leads to a prolonged motor design cycle toevaluating motor performance -erefore the work of thispaper is as follows

(1) -is paper deduces the analytical solution to theelectromagnetic driving torque of ultra-high-speedPMSMs which is verified by the FE methodaccording to locked-rotor simulation -e resultsshow that the electromagnetic torque is pro-portional to the length of stator iron the ampereturns per unit length of the stator inner surface andthe magnetization while it is proportional to thesquare of the ratio ie PM radius to stator innerradius

(2) -e cogging torque back-emf armature reactioninductance and so on are calculated compared anddiscussed For the PMSM studied in the paper theair-gap permeance method was shown not to beapplicable to the estimation of the cogging torquedue to the fact that the flux bends in the air gap andthus a high-accuracy method (eg the subdomainmethod) should be adopted

(3) A prototype is designed and manufactured and theno-load back-emf is checked by a 60000 rpm freecoast experiment -e experimental and designvalues of the no-load back-emf are 570 V and 596V

at 746Hz respectively and the difference betweenthem is within 46

In equation (18) when rR2 equation (18) is equal toequation (16) which indicates that the torque acting on therotor surface generated by the Maxwell stress equals thetorque acting on the current sheet generated by the ampereforce -e results show that the electromagnetic torque isproportional to the length of stator iron lef the ampere turnsper unit length of the stator inner surface NsIm2πR2 andthe magnetization Mr while it is proportional to the squareof the ratio (R1R2)

2 (PM radius to stator inner radius)-e cogging torque arises from the interaction of the

magnetomotive force (mmf) harmonics and the airgappermeance harmonics hence it exists in almost all types ofmotors in which the airgap permeance is not constant -ecogging torque will cause undesirable speed pulsationsvibrations possible resonance and acoustic noise [10] Forthe motor shown in Figure (1) because the radial andtangential components of the magnetic flux density vectoras presented in equation (11) are pure sinusoidal the mmfharmonics only contain the fundamental component andthe cogging torque is caused by stator slots In fact thecogging torque can also be calculated by equation (17)however HIIr and HIIθ should be replaced by HPM

3 Example Validation

To verify the analytic solution to the electromagnetic torquea locked-rotor simulation is carried out by the FEMmethod-e motor parameters are listed in Table 1

In the simulation the windings are fed by a symmetricalthree-phase alternating current to produce a rotating ar-mature reaction field but the rotor speed is set to zero thatis the rotor is locked When the armature reaction fieldrotates relative to the rotor with the angular velocity ω thelocked-rotor torque will generate and vary periodically withδ (an angle between two axes of the armature reaction fieldand PM field and it changes periodically from 0 to 360degrees) -e locked-rotor phenomenon can be applied toverify the electromagnetic torque of equation (16) andequation (18)

When the motor is fed with currents as shown inequation (7) the locked-rotor torques are as shown inFigure 3 -ree kinds of input currents of 2000Hz withdifferent amplitudes such as 10A 30A and 50A areconsidered Figure 3(a) shows the three-phase currents witha 10A peak value in FEM -e locked-rotor torque curvesobtained by FEM are shown in Figure 3(b) which shows thatthe locked-rotor torque is also sinusoidal with time and itspeak value is increased with the increasing amplitude of thephase current A comparison of the results of FEM and theanalytical model is illustrated in Figure 3(c) in which it canbe found that the analytical solution is in good agreementwith the FEM solution

Peak torques obtained by the FE model are comparedwith those from the derived analytical equations-e resultswhich are listed in Table 2 show that the errors are less than5 which proves the correctness of equation (16) andequation (18)

-emagnetic field results that were calculated by FEM areshown in Figure 4 where red and blue conductors indicate the

current flows out of and into the cross section respectively Inaddition the PMhas a parallel magnetization (the direction ofthe magnetization is vertically upward)

Because the PM field is much larger than the armaturereaction field the magnetic fields of the motor in Figure 4 atdifferent times are approximately the same At 02ms thelocked-rotor torque in Figure 3(b) is negative and thecorresponding motor magnetic field is shown in Figure 4(a)in which the armature reaction field lags behind the PM fieldby approximately 135 degrees which just causes a negativetorque Moreover the armature reaction field weakens thePM field the maximum flux density occurs in the statortooth and its value is 138 T At 04ms the locked-rotortorque equals zero as shown in Figure 3(b) and the cor-responding motor magnetic field is shown in Figure 4(b)where the armature reaction field coincides with the PMfield which verifies the null torque At 04ms the maximumflux density of the stator tooth is 170 T At 05ms thelocked-rotor torque approaches the maximum as shown inFigure 3(b) and the corresponding motor magnetic field isshown in Figure 4(c) It can be seen that the armature re-action field direction is left (90 degrees ahead of the PMfield) which verifies the maximum torque At 05ms themaximum flux density of the stator tooth is 160 T

-ree methods namely the FM method the air-gappermeance method [10] and the subdomain method wereused to estimate the cogging torque and the results areshown in Figure 5 -e air-gap permeance method is basedon the assumption that the flux crosses the magnet and airgap in a straight line wherever a magnet faces a toothHowever the above assumption will no longer be suitablefor the motor mentioned in the paper because the flux willbend in the air gap as shown in Figure 5(a) the coggingtorque calculated by the air-gap permeance method is smallrelative to that from FEM and the subdomain method asshown in Figure 5(b) -e cogging torque peak is approx-imately 370 μNm and is 005 of the rated torque (08Nm)which is too small to be ignored In fact some degrees ofharmonic components will exist in the polarized PM thusthe cogging torque peak will increase

-e stator tooth tips in relation to the width of the slotopenings also influence the back-emf waveform When theheight of the tooth tips is small magnetic saturation existsand the emf waveform tends to be a trapezoid Howeverwhen the tooth tip height is too large the emf waveform willdeteriorate [11] -e motor consists of a stator having 12

teeth which carry overlapping winding -e no-load back-emf waveform obtained from the FEM is displayed inFigure 6(a) and the emf waveform is almost purely sinu-soidal which is ideal for ultra-high-speed PMSMs As shownin Figure 5(a) a stator tooth has the maximum flux density1542 T which does not reach the saturation region of thematerial-e comparison of the no-load back-emf calculatedby equation (20) and that of FEM is shown in Figure 6(b)which manifests a good agreement of both methodsFigure 6(c) shows the prototype of the PMSM in which therotor is supported by gas foil bearings and the experimentalresults are shown in Figure 6(d) A coast-down test under60000 rmin is carried out that is the frequency converterwill shut down when the rotor is stable at 60000 rmin and

then the rotor speed will decrease to zero gradually byovercoming air friction In this process the stator has a back-emf but no current thereupon the rotor is not subjected tothe electromagnetic force Hereupon the curve of a no-loadback-emf vs speed can be achieved -e experimental anddesign values of the no-load back-emf are 570V and 596 Vat 746Hz respectively and the difference between them iswithin 46

-e results of Lad and Laq are shown in Figure 7 It canbe found that Lad and Laq are same when current is smalland both of them decrease with the increase of the currentBecause the d-axial magnetic circuit is more saturated Laddescends faster -e magnetic saturation is neglected inthe analytical method whereas Lad not varies with thecurrent

When IRms 10A and 100A the errors of the twomethods are 9 and 2 respectively It shows that theresults of the analytical method and FEM are very close Inthe analytical method only the fundamental harmonic isused to calculate the flux linkage However in the FEMexcept for the fundamental harmonic high-order harmonics

are also taken into account in the flux linkage -erefore theresult of the analytical method is smaller than that of FEM

It is worth noting that the stator tooth has the mostserious saturation as shown in Figure 8(a) and the fluxdensities reach 2086 T and 1880 T when IRms 100A(28IN) and 50A (14IN) respectively IN denotes the ratedcurrent of the motor -e working points of stator toothcorresponding to the both working condition are illustratedin Figure 8(b) It shows that the working point is located atthe end of the linear segment of the B-H curve whenIRms 14IN It indicates that the magnetic saturation of thestator iron is not prominent when the prototype worksunder rated working conditions and it applies to the pro-posed analytical method in this paper

In addition in order to enhance the cooling of the rotorthe air gap should be chosen as large as possible so thatmagnetic saturation in the tooth tips rarely occurs Fur-thermore the teeth in a 12-slot stator are diametricallysymmetrical the air-gap field distribution is symmetrical

and no unbalanced magnetic pull will exist if the rotor andstator axes are coincident Although the rotor rotates ec-centrically with respect to the stator in fact the eccentricityis too tiny due to the constraint of bearings to cause a notableunbalanced magnetic pull

4 Conclusion

For the ultra-high-speed PMSM including a stator withoverlapping windings and the 2-pole parallel magnetizedcylindrical PM electromagnetic torques are rarely reportedat present which leads to a prolonged motor design cycle toevaluating motor performance -erefore the work of thispaper is as follows

(1) -is paper deduces the analytical solution to theelectromagnetic driving torque of ultra-high-speedPMSMs which is verified by the FE methodaccording to locked-rotor simulation -e resultsshow that the electromagnetic torque is pro-portional to the length of stator iron the ampereturns per unit length of the stator inner surface andthe magnetization while it is proportional to thesquare of the ratio ie PM radius to stator innerradius

(2) -e cogging torque back-emf armature reactioninductance and so on are calculated compared anddiscussed For the PMSM studied in the paper theair-gap permeance method was shown not to beapplicable to the estimation of the cogging torquedue to the fact that the flux bends in the air gap andthus a high-accuracy method (eg the subdomainmethod) should be adopted

(3) A prototype is designed and manufactured and theno-load back-emf is checked by a 60000 rpm freecoast experiment -e experimental and designvalues of the no-load back-emf are 570 V and 596V

at 746Hz respectively and the difference betweenthem is within 46

3 Example Validation

To verify the analytic solution to the electromagnetic torquea locked-rotor simulation is carried out by the FEMmethod-e motor parameters are listed in Table 1

In the simulation the windings are fed by a symmetricalthree-phase alternating current to produce a rotating ar-mature reaction field but the rotor speed is set to zero thatis the rotor is locked When the armature reaction fieldrotates relative to the rotor with the angular velocity ω thelocked-rotor torque will generate and vary periodically withδ (an angle between two axes of the armature reaction fieldand PM field and it changes periodically from 0 to 360degrees) -e locked-rotor phenomenon can be applied toverify the electromagnetic torque of equation (16) andequation (18)

When the motor is fed with currents as shown inequation (7) the locked-rotor torques are as shown inFigure 3 -ree kinds of input currents of 2000Hz withdifferent amplitudes such as 10A 30A and 50A areconsidered Figure 3(a) shows the three-phase currents witha 10A peak value in FEM -e locked-rotor torque curvesobtained by FEM are shown in Figure 3(b) which shows thatthe locked-rotor torque is also sinusoidal with time and itspeak value is increased with the increasing amplitude of thephase current A comparison of the results of FEM and theanalytical model is illustrated in Figure 3(c) in which it canbe found that the analytical solution is in good agreementwith the FEM solution

Peak torques obtained by the FE model are comparedwith those from the derived analytical equations-e resultswhich are listed in Table 2 show that the errors are less than5 which proves the correctness of equation (16) andequation (18)

-emagnetic field results that were calculated by FEM areshown in Figure 4 where red and blue conductors indicate the

current flows out of and into the cross section respectively Inaddition the PMhas a parallel magnetization (the direction ofthe magnetization is vertically upward)

Because the PM field is much larger than the armaturereaction field the magnetic fields of the motor in Figure 4 atdifferent times are approximately the same At 02ms thelocked-rotor torque in Figure 3(b) is negative and thecorresponding motor magnetic field is shown in Figure 4(a)in which the armature reaction field lags behind the PM fieldby approximately 135 degrees which just causes a negativetorque Moreover the armature reaction field weakens thePM field the maximum flux density occurs in the statortooth and its value is 138 T At 04ms the locked-rotortorque equals zero as shown in Figure 3(b) and the cor-responding motor magnetic field is shown in Figure 4(b)where the armature reaction field coincides with the PMfield which verifies the null torque At 04ms the maximumflux density of the stator tooth is 170 T At 05ms thelocked-rotor torque approaches the maximum as shown inFigure 3(b) and the corresponding motor magnetic field isshown in Figure 4(c) It can be seen that the armature re-action field direction is left (90 degrees ahead of the PMfield) which verifies the maximum torque At 05ms themaximum flux density of the stator tooth is 160 T

-ree methods namely the FM method the air-gappermeance method [10] and the subdomain method wereused to estimate the cogging torque and the results areshown in Figure 5 -e air-gap permeance method is basedon the assumption that the flux crosses the magnet and airgap in a straight line wherever a magnet faces a toothHowever the above assumption will no longer be suitablefor the motor mentioned in the paper because the flux willbend in the air gap as shown in Figure 5(a) the coggingtorque calculated by the air-gap permeance method is smallrelative to that from FEM and the subdomain method asshown in Figure 5(b) -e cogging torque peak is approx-imately 370 μNm and is 005 of the rated torque (08Nm)which is too small to be ignored In fact some degrees ofharmonic components will exist in the polarized PM thusthe cogging torque peak will increase

-e stator tooth tips in relation to the width of the slotopenings also influence the back-emf waveform When theheight of the tooth tips is small magnetic saturation existsand the emf waveform tends to be a trapezoid Howeverwhen the tooth tip height is too large the emf waveform willdeteriorate [11] -e motor consists of a stator having 12

teeth which carry overlapping winding -e no-load back-emf waveform obtained from the FEM is displayed inFigure 6(a) and the emf waveform is almost purely sinu-soidal which is ideal for ultra-high-speed PMSMs As shownin Figure 5(a) a stator tooth has the maximum flux density1542 T which does not reach the saturation region of thematerial-e comparison of the no-load back-emf calculatedby equation (20) and that of FEM is shown in Figure 6(b)which manifests a good agreement of both methodsFigure 6(c) shows the prototype of the PMSM in which therotor is supported by gas foil bearings and the experimentalresults are shown in Figure 6(d) A coast-down test under60000 rmin is carried out that is the frequency converterwill shut down when the rotor is stable at 60000 rmin and

then the rotor speed will decrease to zero gradually byovercoming air friction In this process the stator has a back-emf but no current thereupon the rotor is not subjected tothe electromagnetic force Hereupon the curve of a no-loadback-emf vs speed can be achieved -e experimental anddesign values of the no-load back-emf are 570V and 596 Vat 746Hz respectively and the difference between them iswithin 46

-e results of Lad and Laq are shown in Figure 7 It canbe found that Lad and Laq are same when current is smalland both of them decrease with the increase of the currentBecause the d-axial magnetic circuit is more saturated Laddescends faster -e magnetic saturation is neglected inthe analytical method whereas Lad not varies with thecurrent

When IRms 10A and 100A the errors of the twomethods are 9 and 2 respectively It shows that theresults of the analytical method and FEM are very close Inthe analytical method only the fundamental harmonic isused to calculate the flux linkage However in the FEMexcept for the fundamental harmonic high-order harmonics

are also taken into account in the flux linkage -erefore theresult of the analytical method is smaller than that of FEM

It is worth noting that the stator tooth has the mostserious saturation as shown in Figure 8(a) and the fluxdensities reach 2086 T and 1880 T when IRms 100A(28IN) and 50A (14IN) respectively IN denotes the ratedcurrent of the motor -e working points of stator toothcorresponding to the both working condition are illustratedin Figure 8(b) It shows that the working point is located atthe end of the linear segment of the B-H curve whenIRms 14IN It indicates that the magnetic saturation of thestator iron is not prominent when the prototype worksunder rated working conditions and it applies to the pro-posed analytical method in this paper

In addition in order to enhance the cooling of the rotorthe air gap should be chosen as large as possible so thatmagnetic saturation in the tooth tips rarely occurs Fur-thermore the teeth in a 12-slot stator are diametricallysymmetrical the air-gap field distribution is symmetrical

and no unbalanced magnetic pull will exist if the rotor andstator axes are coincident Although the rotor rotates ec-centrically with respect to the stator in fact the eccentricityis too tiny due to the constraint of bearings to cause a notableunbalanced magnetic pull

4 Conclusion

For the ultra-high-speed PMSM including a stator withoverlapping windings and the 2-pole parallel magnetizedcylindrical PM electromagnetic torques are rarely reportedat present which leads to a prolonged motor design cycle toevaluating motor performance -erefore the work of thispaper is as follows

(1) -is paper deduces the analytical solution to theelectromagnetic driving torque of ultra-high-speedPMSMs which is verified by the FE methodaccording to locked-rotor simulation -e resultsshow that the electromagnetic torque is pro-portional to the length of stator iron the ampereturns per unit length of the stator inner surface andthe magnetization while it is proportional to thesquare of the ratio ie PM radius to stator innerradius

(2) -e cogging torque back-emf armature reactioninductance and so on are calculated compared anddiscussed For the PMSM studied in the paper theair-gap permeance method was shown not to beapplicable to the estimation of the cogging torquedue to the fact that the flux bends in the air gap andthus a high-accuracy method (eg the subdomainmethod) should be adopted

(3) A prototype is designed and manufactured and theno-load back-emf is checked by a 60000 rpm freecoast experiment -e experimental and designvalues of the no-load back-emf are 570 V and 596V

at 746Hz respectively and the difference betweenthem is within 46

3 Example Validation

To verify the analytic solution to the electromagnetic torquea locked-rotor simulation is carried out by the FEMmethod-e motor parameters are listed in Table 1

In the simulation the windings are fed by a symmetricalthree-phase alternating current to produce a rotating ar-mature reaction field but the rotor speed is set to zero thatis the rotor is locked When the armature reaction fieldrotates relative to the rotor with the angular velocity ω thelocked-rotor torque will generate and vary periodically withδ (an angle between two axes of the armature reaction fieldand PM field and it changes periodically from 0 to 360degrees) -e locked-rotor phenomenon can be applied toverify the electromagnetic torque of equation (16) andequation (18)

When the motor is fed with currents as shown inequation (7) the locked-rotor torques are as shown inFigure 3 -ree kinds of input currents of 2000Hz withdifferent amplitudes such as 10A 30A and 50A areconsidered Figure 3(a) shows the three-phase currents witha 10A peak value in FEM -e locked-rotor torque curvesobtained by FEM are shown in Figure 3(b) which shows thatthe locked-rotor torque is also sinusoidal with time and itspeak value is increased with the increasing amplitude of thephase current A comparison of the results of FEM and theanalytical model is illustrated in Figure 3(c) in which it canbe found that the analytical solution is in good agreementwith the FEM solution

Peak torques obtained by the FE model are comparedwith those from the derived analytical equations-e resultswhich are listed in Table 2 show that the errors are less than5 which proves the correctness of equation (16) andequation (18)

-emagnetic field results that were calculated by FEM areshown in Figure 4 where red and blue conductors indicate the

current flows out of and into the cross section respectively Inaddition the PMhas a parallel magnetization (the direction ofthe magnetization is vertically upward)

Because the PM field is much larger than the armaturereaction field the magnetic fields of the motor in Figure 4 atdifferent times are approximately the same At 02ms thelocked-rotor torque in Figure 3(b) is negative and thecorresponding motor magnetic field is shown in Figure 4(a)in which the armature reaction field lags behind the PM fieldby approximately 135 degrees which just causes a negativetorque Moreover the armature reaction field weakens thePM field the maximum flux density occurs in the statortooth and its value is 138 T At 04ms the locked-rotortorque equals zero as shown in Figure 3(b) and the cor-responding motor magnetic field is shown in Figure 4(b)where the armature reaction field coincides with the PMfield which verifies the null torque At 04ms the maximumflux density of the stator tooth is 170 T At 05ms thelocked-rotor torque approaches the maximum as shown inFigure 3(b) and the corresponding motor magnetic field isshown in Figure 4(c) It can be seen that the armature re-action field direction is left (90 degrees ahead of the PMfield) which verifies the maximum torque At 05ms themaximum flux density of the stator tooth is 160 T

-ree methods namely the FM method the air-gappermeance method [10] and the subdomain method wereused to estimate the cogging torque and the results areshown in Figure 5 -e air-gap permeance method is basedon the assumption that the flux crosses the magnet and airgap in a straight line wherever a magnet faces a toothHowever the above assumption will no longer be suitablefor the motor mentioned in the paper because the flux willbend in the air gap as shown in Figure 5(a) the coggingtorque calculated by the air-gap permeance method is smallrelative to that from FEM and the subdomain method asshown in Figure 5(b) -e cogging torque peak is approx-imately 370 μNm and is 005 of the rated torque (08Nm)which is too small to be ignored In fact some degrees ofharmonic components will exist in the polarized PM thusthe cogging torque peak will increase

-e stator tooth tips in relation to the width of the slotopenings also influence the back-emf waveform When theheight of the tooth tips is small magnetic saturation existsand the emf waveform tends to be a trapezoid Howeverwhen the tooth tip height is too large the emf waveform willdeteriorate [11] -e motor consists of a stator having 12

teeth which carry overlapping winding -e no-load back-emf waveform obtained from the FEM is displayed inFigure 6(a) and the emf waveform is almost purely sinu-soidal which is ideal for ultra-high-speed PMSMs As shownin Figure 5(a) a stator tooth has the maximum flux density1542 T which does not reach the saturation region of thematerial-e comparison of the no-load back-emf calculatedby equation (20) and that of FEM is shown in Figure 6(b)which manifests a good agreement of both methodsFigure 6(c) shows the prototype of the PMSM in which therotor is supported by gas foil bearings and the experimentalresults are shown in Figure 6(d) A coast-down test under60000 rmin is carried out that is the frequency converterwill shut down when the rotor is stable at 60000 rmin and

then the rotor speed will decrease to zero gradually byovercoming air friction In this process the stator has a back-emf but no current thereupon the rotor is not subjected tothe electromagnetic force Hereupon the curve of a no-loadback-emf vs speed can be achieved -e experimental anddesign values of the no-load back-emf are 570V and 596 Vat 746Hz respectively and the difference between them iswithin 46

-e results of Lad and Laq are shown in Figure 7 It canbe found that Lad and Laq are same when current is smalland both of them decrease with the increase of the currentBecause the d-axial magnetic circuit is more saturated Laddescends faster -e magnetic saturation is neglected inthe analytical method whereas Lad not varies with thecurrent

When IRms 10A and 100A the errors of the twomethods are 9 and 2 respectively It shows that theresults of the analytical method and FEM are very close Inthe analytical method only the fundamental harmonic isused to calculate the flux linkage However in the FEMexcept for the fundamental harmonic high-order harmonics

are also taken into account in the flux linkage -erefore theresult of the analytical method is smaller than that of FEM

It is worth noting that the stator tooth has the mostserious saturation as shown in Figure 8(a) and the fluxdensities reach 2086 T and 1880 T when IRms 100A(28IN) and 50A (14IN) respectively IN denotes the ratedcurrent of the motor -e working points of stator toothcorresponding to the both working condition are illustratedin Figure 8(b) It shows that the working point is located atthe end of the linear segment of the B-H curve whenIRms 14IN It indicates that the magnetic saturation of thestator iron is not prominent when the prototype worksunder rated working conditions and it applies to the pro-posed analytical method in this paper

In addition in order to enhance the cooling of the rotorthe air gap should be chosen as large as possible so thatmagnetic saturation in the tooth tips rarely occurs Fur-thermore the teeth in a 12-slot stator are diametricallysymmetrical the air-gap field distribution is symmetrical

and no unbalanced magnetic pull will exist if the rotor andstator axes are coincident Although the rotor rotates ec-centrically with respect to the stator in fact the eccentricityis too tiny due to the constraint of bearings to cause a notableunbalanced magnetic pull

4 Conclusion

For the ultra-high-speed PMSM including a stator withoverlapping windings and the 2-pole parallel magnetizedcylindrical PM electromagnetic torques are rarely reportedat present which leads to a prolonged motor design cycle toevaluating motor performance -erefore the work of thispaper is as follows

(1) -is paper deduces the analytical solution to theelectromagnetic driving torque of ultra-high-speedPMSMs which is verified by the FE methodaccording to locked-rotor simulation -e resultsshow that the electromagnetic torque is pro-portional to the length of stator iron the ampereturns per unit length of the stator inner surface andthe magnetization while it is proportional to thesquare of the ratio ie PM radius to stator innerradius

(2) -e cogging torque back-emf armature reactioninductance and so on are calculated compared anddiscussed For the PMSM studied in the paper theair-gap permeance method was shown not to beapplicable to the estimation of the cogging torquedue to the fact that the flux bends in the air gap andthus a high-accuracy method (eg the subdomainmethod) should be adopted

(3) A prototype is designed and manufactured and theno-load back-emf is checked by a 60000 rpm freecoast experiment -e experimental and designvalues of the no-load back-emf are 570 V and 596V

at 746Hz respectively and the difference betweenthem is within 46

are also taken into account in the flux linkage -erefore theresult of the analytical method is smaller than that of FEM

It is worth noting that the stator tooth has the mostserious saturation as shown in Figure 8(a) and the fluxdensities reach 2086 T and 1880 T when IRms 100A(28IN) and 50A (14IN) respectively IN denotes the ratedcurrent of the motor -e working points of stator toothcorresponding to the both working condition are illustratedin Figure 8(b) It shows that the working point is located atthe end of the linear segment of the B-H curve whenIRms 14IN It indicates that the magnetic saturation of thestator iron is not prominent when the prototype worksunder rated working conditions and it applies to the pro-posed analytical method in this paper

In addition in order to enhance the cooling of the rotorthe air gap should be chosen as large as possible so thatmagnetic saturation in the tooth tips rarely occurs Fur-thermore the teeth in a 12-slot stator are diametricallysymmetrical the air-gap field distribution is symmetrical

and no unbalanced magnetic pull will exist if the rotor andstator axes are coincident Although the rotor rotates ec-centrically with respect to the stator in fact the eccentricityis too tiny due to the constraint of bearings to cause a notableunbalanced magnetic pull

4 Conclusion

For the ultra-high-speed PMSM including a stator withoverlapping windings and the 2-pole parallel magnetizedcylindrical PM electromagnetic torques are rarely reportedat present which leads to a prolonged motor design cycle toevaluating motor performance -erefore the work of thispaper is as follows

(1) -is paper deduces the analytical solution to theelectromagnetic driving torque of ultra-high-speedPMSMs which is verified by the FE methodaccording to locked-rotor simulation -e resultsshow that the electromagnetic torque is pro-portional to the length of stator iron the ampereturns per unit length of the stator inner surface andthe magnetization while it is proportional to thesquare of the ratio ie PM radius to stator innerradius

(2) -e cogging torque back-emf armature reactioninductance and so on are calculated compared anddiscussed For the PMSM studied in the paper theair-gap permeance method was shown not to beapplicable to the estimation of the cogging torquedue to the fact that the flux bends in the air gap andthus a high-accuracy method (eg the subdomainmethod) should be adopted

(3) A prototype is designed and manufactured and theno-load back-emf is checked by a 60000 rpm freecoast experiment -e experimental and designvalues of the no-load back-emf are 570 V and 596V

at 746Hz respectively and the difference betweenthem is within 46
