This presentation explores Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors (PMSM) with modular stators made from oriented steel, aimed at enhancing machine performance. Compared to non-oriented steel designs, oriented steel can significantly boost torque and efficiency. Traditionally, steel manufacturers offer magnetic properties only in rolling and transverse directions. Current Finite Element Analysis (FEA) software interpolates these properties inaccurately, necessitating an improved model. This study proposes a method to determine the magnetic properties of oriented steel beyond rolling and transverse directions using flux-injecting probes. Extracted properties are applied to model an oriented steel modular stator PMSM, demonstrating superior average torque and core losses compared to non-modular and non-oriented steel stators.

Hear about:

• How modular stators with oriented steel enhance PMSM performance
• How to ensure accurate modeling, including addressing FEA software inaccuracies
• Utilizing flux-injecting probes that validate the superior performance of oriented steel modular stators compared to conventional designs
• Practical applications for oriented steel modular stators
