Abstract :
This paper describes the experimental measurement of flux-linkage/current curves for a permanent-magnet brushless synchronous motor, using a combination of physical rotations and electrical switching operations to determine the static flux-linkages of the windings. A theoretical model is described which uses the resulting magnetization curves to solve "voltage-driven" performance calculations very rapidly, even when the motor is heavily saturated.
