Abstract:

As a simple and easy completing method, the changing slot structure is widely used in optimization of motor’s performances. The optimization of rotor slot aimed at reducing motor’s additional loss was studied in this paper. The relationship between dimensions of rotor slot and additional loss were analyzed in the first step. Then the set of dimensions for the minimum additional loss was obtained by function fitting. The other requirements of motor’s designs were also considered in the iterative calculation for the optimum geometry. This study could provide a reference for motor’s optimization in engineering practice.

Key words: Additional loss, slot optimization, finite element analysis
