Abstract
The paper proposes a particular modeling procedure for efficient switching frequency loss consideration in surface mounted permanent magnet rotors in cases of PWM supply. The model is based on 2D finite element analysis combined with circuit equations in the permanent magnet regions enabling end effects consideration associated with the switching frequency, which is responsible for the major part of eddy current losses in the magnets. The model's accuracy is validated through measurements in a magnetic circuit. Comparison between measured and simulation losses by implementing a traditional loss separation analysis has illustrated the relative dominance of switching frequency eddy current losses in permanent magnets in this class of problems.
