Method of winch drive permanent magnet inverted motor design

Designing a permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) of a winch drive needs to take into account the features of this machine. The engine has an inverted design with limited dimensions, is powered by a fre-quency converter, runs at the nominal power frequency and nominal load without using the damping winding and frequency start, and provides the required range of rope winding speeds. There is no specialized engi-neering design methodology for the winch drive PMSM. It is required to make changes and additions to the existing methods of designing synchronous machines when solving the problem of designing a winch drive PMSM. Design and validation calculations were performed in the Mathcad environment based on the tech-nique of designing machines with V.A. Balagurov’s permanent magnets and methods of designing general-purpose industrial synchronous machines with electromagnetic excitation. Field models of PMSM were used for modelling electromechanical processes and thermal status. The developed technique of designing the winch drive permanent magnet inverted motor is different from the known methods and due to this allows accounting for the design features of PMSM in the calculation of the size of the machine, the magnets, the stator core, the choice of electromagnetic loads, the design of the stator winding, the choice of the cooling system and the steel grade of the stator core. The specific requirements of the technical specification are taken into account when calculating the number of poles and the frequency of the supply voltage. A design project of the inverted PMSM of the winch drive has been developed. And the paper presents the design and verification calculations results. The reliability of the results was checked by field modeling of electromechanical processes and the thermal state of the PMSM. The study has solved the problem of no specialized engineering design techniques of the winch drive PMSM. The technique can be used by electromechanical engineers in solving the problem of designing winch drive PMSM as it allows making a design project of the PMSM corresponding to the requirements of the technical specifications and operation feature.
