Abstract
When converting the design of phase squirrel cage rotor induction motors into the design of three-changed In this case, the pieces of permanent magnet have been inserted in the squirrel cage rotor Thus, the gap flux is mainly produced by the magnet Hence, it is very important to determine exactly the air-gap flux density This paper presents a novel method for a detailed analysis of the air-air-gap flux density determination related to the steel lamination B-H characteristics Finally, the results are verified by the FEIvl tool m Ansoft Maxwell software
Keywords: LSPMSMs, air-gap dux density, magnetomotive force, size of permanent magnet
1 Introduction
According to [1-5], the design of the Ime start
permanent magnet synchronous motors (LSPMSMs)
IS based on the induction motors (IMs) design
procedures as the initial work In the design process of
IMs, the magnitude of the air-gap flux density
fundamental (Bg) is usually chosen in advance [15,16]
However, in the case of LSPMSMs, choosing the
magnitude is unreasonable It is caused by the
presence of permanent magnets buried in the rotor In
this case, the air-gap flux is mainly produced by the
operatmg point flux of permanent magnet (PM) Thus,
if the Bg is chosen in the LSPMSMs design process,
usmg the FEM method to verify the Bg causes a
significant enor and accuracy of design parameters in
the next steps In references [6-12], the determinahon
of the air-gap flux based on the analysis method often
charactenstics and only takes the PM and au^-gap into
account Thus, analysis results become linear and
inaccurate In this paper, the analysis method is
introduced to determine the magnitude of the
fundamental of the air-gap flux density with non-linear
effect of steel lamination B-H curves in the steady
FEM tool (Maxwell 2D) and CAD tool (RMxprt) of
Ansoft Maxwell software is used due to the advantages
of the software including the high accuracy and
processing speed
2.1 Analysis of permanent magnet fiux density (Bm)
at the operating point
The Bm plays a vital role in analyzing the Bg, The method of Bm determmation is shown in this section

Trang 2To determine the operating point of permanent
magnet conesponding to the demagnetization
characteristics, the mam flux path is considered in the
motor The flux goes from the north pole of the magnet
to teeth and yoke of stator through an air-gap and
through rotor teeth and yoke and back to the south
pole, via an air gap In this process, the flux crosses the
permanent magnet twice, the stator and rotor tooth
length twice, the air gap twice and the stator and rotor
yoke length once, as shown m Fig 1
In Fig 1, the magnetic circuit is considered
with the permanent magnet source Bg is determined

In addition, according to [6-12], the demagnetization line charactenstics can be written as follows:

As the operating point of permanent magnet is the intersection of the air-gap Ime with the second quadrant demagnetization curve (demagnetization line), so we can obtain
