Abstract:The large-scale cross-flow pump low-speed direct drive permanent magnet synchronous motor used in a pump station of the east line of South-to-North Water Diversion Project is the first application in the water industry.During the long operation, it is found that the unit temperature, the current and the loss increase, while the efficiency decreases when the motor runs continuously. In this paper, the cause of reversible demagnetization of permanent magnet of the unit motor in this pumping station is analyzed, and the reversible demagnetization of permanent magnet in continuous operation is verified by field experiments. At the same time, the corresponding measures are given from the aspects of electromagnetic design, inverter power supply and unit cooling, which provides experience for the subsequent manufacture and maintenance of large permanent magnet synchronous motors.
