Abstract

This paper presents the design and application of permanent magnets in hysteresis motors with a view to improve the overall performances of such motors. The novel rotor consists of 36% cobalt steel alloys with neodymium boron iron permanent magnets. This hybrid design combines advantageous performance features of both typical permanent magnet motors and conventional hysteresis motors. Machine models for steady state and run-up performances are derived. Using state variable equations, starting and synchronizing performances are predicted. Test results from a 5 hp laboratory prototype permanent magnet hysteresis motor validate these superior performances
