Three-dimensional Finite-Element Analysis has been used for the simulations. The ECL component is usually not taken into consideration in conventional PM motors. In present technologies, ECL is generated inside magnets of PM motors, due to both the high conductivity of the rare-earth magnets and the harmonics of the slot. This loss can increase the temperature inside the magnets, and that may deteriorate their magnetic properties and potential risk of thermal demagnetization. Therefore, in the translator, segmented magnets has been used, because the cancellation of the ECL with this technique is possible as illustrated by the FEA results. Meanwhile, for the stator core of the three proposed motors, soft magnetic composite (SMC) material, Somaloy 700 has been used for its low cost and approximately zero ECL. date: 2017 publisher: Insight Society official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85021048906&doi=10.18517%2fijaseit.7.3.2280&partnerID=40&md5=10830e707d4e31a74d4e39dea361718c id_number: 10.18517/ijaseit.7.3.2280 full_text_status: none publication: International Journal on Advanced Science, Engineering and Information Technology volume: 7 number: 3 pagerange: 964-970 refereed: TRUE issn: 20885334 citation: Abdalla, I.I. and Ibrahim, T. and Perumal, N. and Nor, N.M.
