This paper describes the reduction method of eddy current loss generated into a retaining ring installed in wound-field superconducting machine. In order to suggest the reduction method of eddy current loss of the retaining ring, this paper is divided into three parts. Firstly, eddy current loss of prototype model is calculated. Secondly, eddy current loss versus material and shape of the retaining ring is compared. Finally, the material and the shape of the retaining ring to reduce coupling loss generated by a time-varying magnetic field are proposed. In this paper, eddy current loss is calculated by 3-dimensional transient analysis.

Recently, there has been an increasing interest in the non-contact power transmission method of magnetic gears. Since there is no mechanical contact, noise caused by friction can be reduced, and even if a sudden large force is applied, the impact of the gear is close to zero. Further, since the power is transmitted by the magnetic flux, it has high reliability. However, there is a problem that a loss due to a magnetic field due to use of a magnetic flux. The loss caused by the magnetic field of the magnetic gear is a joule loss called eddy current loss. In addition, the eddy current loss in the magnetic gear largely occurs in the permanent magnet, but it is a fatal loss to the permanent magnet which is vulnerable to heat. Particularly, magnetic gears requiring high torque density use NdFeB series permanent magnets, and this permanent magnets have a characteristic in which the magnetic force decreases as temperature increases. Therefore, in this paper, the eddy current loss of the permanent magnet according to the permanent magnet attaching method is analyzed in order to reduce the eddy current loss of the permanent magnet. We have proposed a structure that can reduce the eddy current loss through the analysis and show the effect of reducing the loss of the proposed structure.

As interest in the reduction of energy loss has increased in recent years, analysis of losses in power cables is becoming more important. The overall loss in the transmission system can be measured, but there are many difficulties in researching the loss in each internal structure. There are various factors in the type of loss, and the loss of external factors by previous research has been studied. However, there is little research on the cable internal loss. Since the metal sheath inside the cable is made of aluminum having a high conductivity, an eddy current is generated due to the current flowing in the conductor, thereby causing an eddy current loss inevitably. In this paper, the eddy current loss in metal sheath of 154 kV Cable was researched through FEM (Finite Element Method) electromagnetic analysis.

The loss is most important problems for the practical applications of permanent magnet synchronous motor(PMSM). In this paper, rotor sleeve and stator shape design of high speed permanent magnet motor for loss reduction. First, this paper found optimum sleeve thickness for calculation eddy current loss on the basis of analytical method, because eddy current is influenced by conductivity of material and area. Then, stator shape design is changed as maintain same slot area for reducing stator core loss. Finally, this paper compared analytical result with optimum sleeve thickness obtained from finite element(FE) method, and stator core loss is calculated from FE method.

The Multi D.O.F spherical motor can drive rotating as well as tilting three degree of freedom with one motor. Existing three degree of freedom to drive with three motors that are connected by gears and belts, that will be too large size and big loss at gears and belts. So Reducing system size and improving efficient is using the Multi D.O.F spherical motor in three degree of freedom systems. For this reason, efficiency of Multi D.O.F spherical motor is one of the important performance indiccators. In this paper presented that how to improve the efficiency of the Multi D.O.F spherical motor. The fist of method is using the stator iron core's material with high permeability and resistivity for reducing the eddy current loss. However, it was the disadvatages of motor-making and economic. So author propose the resonable method of reducing the eddy current loss in the stator iron core. That is using the rotor with double-air gap.

Superconducting tape is being developed for electrical equipment such as superconducting transformers and generators etc. AC loss reduction is primary concerned in the development of such high-efficiency equipment. AC losses in Bi-2223 silver-sheathed tapes, both single and multi-filamentary, were investigated by means of AC magnetization techniques when longitudinal fields are applied. The experiment resultswere compared with the hysteresis loss equation based on Bean model and the eddy current loss equation. The AC loss of the mono-filamentary tape was dominated by the hysteresis. On the contrary, the AC loss of the multi-filamentary tape was substantially dominated by the eddy current loss in the silver matrix.

In this paper, 110kW high output density, high efficiency Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor which can be applied on tram’s traction system is introduced, along with its output and loss characteristics. The motor model is 2pole 18slot model and its size has been reduced through the high speed for high output density. Especially, structure and retainer sleeve structure is applied to its structure, which is also appropriate for high speed rotation. This kind of structure has eddy current loss problem on the surface of rotor, which must be reduced for high output density design. This study has designed the most optimized additional design parameter in order to improve the output characteristics and efficiency of previous produced 2pole 18 slot 110kW motor model and how the width of airgap affects from the loss perspective is mainly analyzed. Finally, the analysis on the extent of the efficiency improvement effect compared to the previous model has performed through electromagnetic FEM analysis. The influence of airgap flux density distribution has also been thoroughly examined.

This paper presents the optimal permanent magnet shape on the rotor of an interior permanent magnet motor to reduce the core losses and improve the performance. As permanent magnet has conductivity inherently, it causes huge amount of eddy current losses by the slot harmonics with concentrated winding. This loss is roughly 100 times larger than that of distributed winding in high speed operation and it cannot be ignored, especially on traction motors. Each eddy current loss on permanent magnet has been investigated in detail by using FEM(Finite Element Method) instead of EMCNM(Equivalent Magnetic Circuit Network Method) in order to consider saturation and non-linear magnetic property. Simulation-based DOE(Design Of Experiment) is also applied to avoid large number of analyses according to each design parameter and consider expected interactions among parameters. Consequently, the optimal design to reduce the core loss on the permanent magnet while maintaining or improving motor performance is proposed by an optimization algorithm using regression equation derived and lastly, the core loss reduction on the proposed shape of the permanent magnet is verified by FEM.
