Abstract

The paper addresses the linear magnetic model of a permanent magnet synchronous machine and highlights its shortcomings. Then, a nonlinear magnetic model is presented, where the inductances are not constant values but depend on the current, and in more detailed analyses, mutual inductances are also considered. These inductance values are obtained using the frozen permeability method, which is implemented within numerical FEA simulations. The results of the mentioned simulations are provided at the end of the paper.
