Abstract

Permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSM) are a type of motors that have permanent magnets mounted on the rotors instead of the rotor windings. This particular design gives the motor a few advantages over ordinary induction synchronous motors. The magnets attached to the rotor do not require excitation, which reduces the power consumption in PMSM. This gives the motor high operational efficiency and reduces the motor active diameter. PMSM are therefore associated with applications that require high torque but have limited operation space. The permanent magnets suffer from flux leakage and are therefore aligned in a pattern that minimizes flux ...

Abstract

Kirchhoff’s law states that the total of the emf values in a closed loop equals the sum of the potential drops in that loop. Kirchhoff’s first and second laws are used to verify that in a closed loop, energy is neither created nor destroyed (Scherz, Paul, and Simon Monk 2013). Energy is converted from one form to another. Electric charge is given the necessary energy to flow in the circuit by the electromotive force source, preferable batteries into circuit elements. Electrical energy is converted into heat energy recorded as impedance in capacitors, resistors, or inductors. In the ...
