Permanent Magnet Motor with Efficiency Map

Application ID: 118491


When electrical energy is converted into mechanical work in an electrical motor, the "wasted" energy that causes device heating is usually referred to as loss. The ratio of useful work to input energy, or the efficiency of the motor, is an important property for the overall energy consumption. Most of the electromagnetic phenomena that contribute to both the produced torque and the losses depend on temperature. As such, when determining the expected efficiency of a machine, it is important to include the temperature to get an accurate picture.

This model example illustrates applications of this type that would nominally be built using the following products:
