Abstract

This paper investigates the transient and steady state operations of two Line Start Permanent Magnet Motors (LSPMMs) with different rotor types. The calculations showed that both designs can reach a higher efficiency than comparable induction motorsof the same size. The loading capability of the Surface Permanent Magnet (SPM) rotor is better than the Interior Permanent Magnet (IPM)  rotor on asynchronous rotation as it has lesser torque ripples. However, IPM rotor had less flux leakage and copper losses at the synchronous operation under the same loading conditions.The results of the investigation also show that IPM motor attains a higher speed responses than SPM motor but SPM motor synchronizes faster than the IPM motor under the same loading conditions. During the asynchronous period, the chracteristics of both machines display similar features at a lower load torque less than 50N-m. The ripple contents of IPM is greater than that of SPM  as can be observed in the run-up speed characteristics where IPM shows spontaneous overshoot. The pull out torque for SPM and IPM occurred at the time of 6 and 10 second respectively with same load increments.
