Application of Finite Element Method to Determine the Performances of the Line Start Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor

AbstractIn this paper, low power line start permanent magnet synchronous motor (LSPMSM) is analyzed and simulationed by finite element method using ANSYS RMXPRT and Maxwell 2D/3D modeling software. Parameters of three motor are changed, are modeled than put to the simulation. While the motors are analyzed, motor dimensions aren’t changed. After motors are modeled by RMXPRT, the models are transposed to maxwell and observed the magnetic field distribution. The torque and efficiency curve are acquired and compared with each other. Consequently, the results are evaluated in terms of feasibility for the industrial area in terms of efficiency and torqu
