SM PM 3PH

1. Preamble

This document concerns both types of machines:

Synchronous Machines with Permanent Magnets – Inner Rotor
Synchronous Machines with Permanent Magnets – Outer Rotor

When machines with inner rotor are illustrated, keep in mind that the conditions of tests and methods of computation are the same.

Note: In the current version (FluxMotor 2023.1) there are no test dedicated to the Polyphase Synchronous Machines with Permanent Magnets

2. Overview

The test environment (TEST area inside Motor Factory) enables users to assess motor performance.

Standard and relevant test portfolios are available. All the predefined tests are ready to be performed.

Relevant input parameters allow users to control test conditions.

Processes are based on optimization technology. All results are automatically illustrated.

Tests associated with the convention of operating Motor and Generator are grouped into packages themselves classified into test families.

Here is the list of tests for Synchronous machines with Permanent Magnets – Inner rotor and outer rotor

Note: The test (working point I-Ψ-N, in both motor and generator modes are available for both topologies inner and outer rotor. However, the computation in steady state and transient of the thermal behavior is available only for inner rotor topology.

NVH tests are also available only for inner rotor topology.

The tests are described in documents dedicated to each test family. Here is the list of available documents:
