Abstract:

The line-start permanent magnet synchronous motor (LSPMSM) is capable of direct grid-starting while maintaining high efficiency and power factor. In the rotor design of LSPMSMs, the conductor material plays a critical role in starting performance, torque ripple, and overall weight. Traditionally, aluminum (Al) and copper (Cu) have been widely used; however, they still face limitations in terms of weight, resistivity, and thermal load capacity. This paper evaluates the potential of cacbon nanotube (CNT) materials for rotor conductor fabrication. CNTs exhibit high electrical conductivity, low mass, high current-carrying capability, and a negative temperature coefficient, which contribute to improved electrical performance, reduced weight, and enhanced speed stability. The authors conducted simulations on an 11 kW, 4-pole LSPMSM to compare the performance of traditional conductor materials (Cu, Al) with CNT-based materials, focusing on metrics such as torque, speed stability, and starting capability. The results demonstrate that CNTs are promising materials for enhancing the efficiency and stability of next-generation LSPMSMs, while also enabling the development of high-performance, lightweight, and environmentally friendly electric motors.
