[Objective] Canned permanent magnet synchronous motor (CPMSM) demonstrates excellent performance
including high efficiency and high power density. Due to its compact size
lightweight design
stable and reliable operation
and low maintenance requirements
it is widely used in precision-controlled industrial equipment such as vacuum pumps. During the vacuum pumping process
air may flow into the vacuum environment
causing the vacuum pump to operate under high load conditions and leading to CPMSM overload. [Methods] This study established a co-simulation model using Simulink and Ansys to analyze the electromagnetic and thermal fields of the motor
determining the safe operation duration and the variations in the electromagnetic field under overload conditions. Taking a 1.5 kW CPMSM as an example
different overload torque multiples were set to simulate impact loads. The one-way coupling method was used to calculate the temperature rise in the winding insulation and permanent magnets under overload conditions. [Results] The results showed that the winding insulation of the CPMSM reached its temperature limit after 516 s under 1.8 times the rated load. Continued operation beyond this limit would cause motor damage
while the permanent magnets could still function safely under this load. Therefore
the motor's safe operating time under overload was 516 s. In addition
the study revealed that after overload
regions with higher stator yoke magnetic flux density increased compared to rated load conditions
while the fundamental amplitude of the air gap flux density decreased
and the fundamental amplitude of the back electromotive force increased. After overload
motor's losses increased
while both efficiency and power factor decreased. Additionally
the torque fluctuations first decreased and then increased. [Conclusion] By establishing a simulation model
this paper provides an in-depth analysis of CPMSM's operating characteristics under overload conditions
providing a scientific basis for accurately determining the safe response time after temperature rise. The study summarizes the variations in electromagnetic performance after overloading
