Abstract When permanent magnets (PM) are exposed to harmonic fields, eddy current exists if the magnets are electrically conductive, causing power loss. Increasing the magnet resistivity is a direct way to reduce the eddy current in the magnets. However, in high-speed PM AC machines, eddy current occurs not only in the magnets, but also in the metal retaining sleeve and the copper shielding layer of the rotor. Under such a circumstance, is the technique of increasing the magnet resistivity still workable? This will be answered in this article, through a comparative finite element analysis.
