Motor having a rotor with interior split-permanent-magnet

摘要

A motor includes a rotor with interior permanent magnets and a stator with teeth wound by concentrated windings. The permanent magnet is split along a plane oriented to the stator, and an electrically insulating section is set between the spilt magnet pieces. This structure allows the permanent magnet to be electrically split thereby restraining the production of eddy current. As a result, heat-production is damped thereby preventing heat demagnetization of the permanent magnet.
