Abstract
SUMMARY This paper describes the influence of pulse width modulation (PWM) inverter harmonic loss on concentrated winding interior permanent magnet synchronous motor characteristics by using finite element method (FEM) analysis and several measurements. In the measurements, the PWM inverter harmonic loss was evaluated by using a PWM inverter and a sinusoidal power supply. By using the FEM analysis, it was confirmed that the PWM inverter harmonic mainly caused an increase of eddy current losses in the magnetic steel sheet and the permanent magnet. The results indicate that higher inductance of the motor is effective in reducing the harmful effects of PWM inverter harmonics.
