Abstract: Currently, research is being carried out on the performance improvement of permanent-magnet-synchronous motors (PMSM) used in air conditioning and blowing systems for marine, as well as structural research, regarding their high-speed operation. Surface-mounted permanent magnet (SPM) motors used in marine propulsion and air-conditioning systems have the advantages of easy rotor manufacturing and a simple structure. However, owing to the structural characteristics associated with attaching a permanent magnet to the surface of the rotor, there is a risk of permanent magnet scattering when turning a rated load at high speed, and the rotor assembly is directly affected by the heat generated in the stator winding. Therefore, in this study, additional protrusions were proposed to prevent rotor scattering during high-speed operations. Additionally, optimization was performed to reduce the torque ripple at the rated load and the total harmonic distortion (THD) of the no-load-induced electromotive-force waveform generated by the protrusion. Consequently, the risk of scattering at high speeds was improved by securing the bonding force of the permanent magnet using the proposed structure, and the THD and torque ripple were reduced compared with those of the basic model through optimization. In addition, rotor structural stress analyses were conducted to solve the problem of scattering at high speeds and eigenmode analysis.
