Recently, Inner permanent magnet (IPM) synchronous machines have been
introduced as a possible traction motor in hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) and traction
applications due to their unique merits. In order to achieve maximum torque per ampere
(MTPA), optimization of the motor geometry parameters is necessary. This paper Presents
a design method to achieve minimum volume, MTPA and minimum value of cogging
torque for traction IPM synchronous machines and simulation in order to extract the output
values of motor is done using 3D-Finite Element Model, that has high level of accuracy and
gives us a better insight of motor performance. Then presents back EMF, power factor,
cogging torque, Flux density, torque per ampere diagram, CPSR (constant power speed
ratio), torque per speed diagram in this IPM synchronous machine. This study can help
designers in design approach of such motors.
