Hi everyone, I'm trying to design a surface permanent magnet Motor/Generator. During working point simulation as a generator, i'm able to obtain at 4100 rpm a voltage equal to 300 V rms phase to neutral, a torque equal to 420 Nm with 200A rms. So as generator, all design requirements are met. Now, during motor simulation,…
