Abstract: This paper provides computer analysis and experiential investigation of the permanent magnet machines with neodymium and ferrite permanent magnets to discuss the feasibility of utilizing induction machines-oriented equipment for PM machine production. For this purpose, the machines are obtained by replacing the squirrel-cage rotor of the induction motor with the flux-focusing (tangential) and surface-mounted (radial) permanent magnet rotors. Electromechanical parameters of the machines as electromagnetic torque and output power are discussed and compared. The temperatures of the neodymium and ferrite magnets are also calculated at rated current, and short circuit scenarios and the performance of two different cooling systems in minimizing the temperature effect on the machines are investigated. Furthermore, the demagnetization of permanent magnets at various load conditions is also studied. Finally, the results of the computer modeling are validated by the physical prototypes of the machines. The characteristics of the electrical machines under study were calculated using the Simcenter MagNet and Simcenter MotorSolve software packages.
