Sinusoidally fed permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSM) fulfill the special features required for traction motors to be applied in electric vehicles (EV). Among them, axial flux permanent magnet (AFPM) synchronous motors are especially suited for in-wheel applications. Electric motors used in such applications must meet two main requirements, i.e. high power density and fault tolerance. This paper...
Interturn faults in permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSMs) may develop fast into more severe faults such as coil-to-coil, phase-to-phase and phase-to-ground short circuits. These faults are very destructive and may irreversibly damage the PMSM. Therefore, it is highly desirable to develop suitable methods for the early detection of such faults. The effects of interturn faults are visible in both...
In this paper the effect of the magnets shape on the AFPMM performance under a demagnetization fault has been analyzed by means of 3D-FEM simulations. Demagnetization faults in permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSMs) may generate specific fault harmonic frequencies in the stator currents, output torque and the zero-sequence voltage component (ZSVC) spectra the ones can affect motor behavior, and...
This paper deals with the effects of inter-turn short circuit faults in five-phase permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSMs). For this purpose a finite-elements model (FEM) of a faulty machine with 1, 2 and 4 inter-turns in short circuit is analyzed. From the results of this model the effects of these fault severities in the stator currents and zero-sequence voltage components (ZSVC) harmonics is...
The axial flux permanent magnet machine (AFPMM) is being increasingly demanded for special applications, particularly for transportation systems and concretely for in-wheel applications. In this paper the effect of the magnets shape on the AFPMM performance has been analyzed by means of 3D-FEM simulations. To this end the air-gap magnetic flux density, the back electromotive force (back-EMF), the...
When dealing with extra- and ultra-high voltage transmission systems special considerations must be taken into account to minimize corona activity. To minimize its harmful effects often corona shields are required. Depending on the device to protect, corona shields may have different geometries; the most usual are corona caps, toroids and spheres. This work analyzes by means three-dimensional finite...
This work proposes the zero sequence voltage component (ZSVC) of the stator three-phase voltages as a method for detecting winding inter-turns short circuits in permanent magnet synchronous motors PMSM operating under transient conditions. Additionally it proves the linear relationship between the ZSVC and speed, which is effectively used as a fault severity index. The acquired ZSVC temporal signal...
