Optimal Design to reduce Acoustic Noise in Interior Permanent Magnet Motor

매입형 영구자석 전동기의 소음 저감을 위한 최적 설계

This paper presents methods to reduce acoustic noise in interior permanent magnet (IPM) motor. Mechanical and magnetic sources are considered to reduce noise of the machine, and structural and electromagnetic designs are performed. In the structural design to reduce mechanical source, the structural resonances are moved to higher frequency for enhancement of stiffness. Then, the electromagnetic design to reduce magnetic source, the amplitudes of magnetic force harmonics are reduced by using objective function of response surface methodology (RSM). The validity of the design process and objective functions is confirmed with their calculated and experimental results.
