The purpose of this paper is to elaborate a method of computer analysis of high‐speed motor with specific parameters and verifying the obtained results, i.e. computer models by experimental (laboratory) tests.
In order to determine motor properties from the viewpoint of energy conversion, a model using FEM was worked out with the help of Maxwell software. To determine static and dynamic properties of both motor and drive, Matlab/Simulink models were used; one of these models was a built‐in (library) model, the other one was proposed by the authors.
The new analysis method and model of high‐speed motor have been carried out.
The permanent magnet brushless direct current high‐speed motor was the subject of the research. In the first part of the research, the properties of the motor were determined by using finite element method.
The laboratory prototype can be a starting point in establishing the production of the high‐speed motors with rotational speed in the range of 50,000‐100,000 rpm.
At this moment, there are several possible application of the high‐speed motor and it should be expected that other new applications can appear in near future after the start of the production.
The paper shows that the computer‐based analysis method determines the motor properties accurately. It is also pointed out that a motor with half‐open slots has advantageous properties. The new simulation model of high‐speed motor has been carried out. This model allows taking into account some imperfections caused by slots and rectangular cross‐section magnets.
