Description
Summary:In order to avoid overheating of a BLDC permanent magnet (PM) motor at high speeds, this paper focuses on the loss reduction of a 90 W 47,000 r/min BLDC hollow-cup motor. It is proposed to provide an optimizing method for the series reactors and the parameterization of reactors in the motor system. The finite element method (FEM) is used to calculate and analyze the time harmonic of air-gap magnetic flux density, stator core loss, and rotor eddy current loss in two cases: with a series reactor and without a reactor. By parameterizing the inductance value, the optimal resistance value is determined to minimize motor loss. In addition, an electromagnetic–thermal coupling analysis is conducted, and the results show that the temperature distribution of the stator core, winding, and rotor are improved under reactor suppression. Finally, an experimental platform is built to verify the temperature increase and the efficiency of the motor load operation. A clear reference for the research and optimization analysis of motor loss reduction is provided.
