Badanie maszyny elektrycznej z magnesami trwałymi i klinami magnetycznymi

The article presents results of simulating research concerning magnetic circuit in cylindrical electrical machines with permanent magnets. In this work the magnetic wedges which should minimize electromagnetic torque's pulsations had been provided. The aim of the investigation was to find the optimal value of wedges' magnetic permeability, for which pulsations are the smallest without decreasing average value of electromagnetic torque. Unsuccessful effect of using magnetic wedges is lost a part of generated in windings magnetic flux due to its flow across this wedges. All researches have been carried out using computer programs named Matlab and Comsol. Conclusion of researches is that when a wedges' magnetic permeability increases, pulsations and cogging torque decreases. But too high value of this parameter causes decreasing value of electromagnetic torque. According to another researches author states that in different magnetic circuits of electrical machines there are changing pulsations in machine during changing value of wedges' permeability. The degree of pulsations decreasing depends mostly on numbers of slots to one pole and phase and proportion air gap thickness to width of pole pitch. So if we want to find an optimal value of magnetic wedges' permeability we should do separately research in each magnetic circuit structure.
