Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6285432

A 30-hp, 15,000-rpm, permanent magnet motor has been designed and is now being built. The direct drive motor has 72 slots and eight poles. Using A. O. Smith Magnetic, a flux plot was obtained and the flux density throughout one pole pitch has been determined. The poles are connected in a four-pole series, parallel WYE. Each pole requires 30 A for a total per phase current of 60 A. The torque capability is 2638 oz-in.
