Learn practical IPM and BLDC Machine Design by applying motor characteristics, academic theory and manufacturing practices.

November 3-5, Lincolnshire, IL
  • IPM & BLDC Machine Methods
  • Practical Magnetic Analysis Techniques
  • Putting Magnets & Windings to Work
  • Performance & Loss Calculations
  • Realistic Practice & Expectation
  • How to Test for Parameters & Performance


Objectives and Benefits:

This How-To course addresses the key state-of-the-art application-oriented design issues for IPM & BLDC machines. We will use basic motor principles to increase understanding of integrating permanent magnets into any IPM or BLDC machine design.
The material in this course is the engineering material you can’t find in a book, and you can’t get from software training. It is presented using a combination of modern machine design concepts and computer techniques with a heavy dose of many years of experience.
The primary goal of this course is to provide an up-to-date, practical foundation of IPM and Brushless DC machine design techniques to produce accurate and realistic design results based on the electrical, magnetic, mechanical, and thermal interactions.

Those who will benefit:

  • Motor and generator design engineers
  • Application engineers, especially for EV, HEV, UAV, Wind Energy, high efficiency
  • Suppliers to motor manufacturers
  • Control engineers
  • Engineering and R&D managers
  • Others who specify, design, analyze, manufacture or service IPM or BLDC machines

You should have some background in electric machine operation and construction such as the equivalent of a B.S. degree in engineering. Understanding of basic magnetic circuits is needed, but advanced motor theory and control techniques are not essential.

Instructor

Dr. Keith W. Klontz is President and CEO of Advanced MotorTech LLC, a computer-aided engineering services company with emphasis on electric machine and magnetic component design. He holds BS & MS degrees in Electrical Engineering from the University of Illinois, Champaign-Urbana, and a PhD in Electrical Engineering from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Dr. Klontz is a world-recognized expert in electric machine design and application with over 35 years hands-on experience with electric machine design engineering, from concept to performance to failure analysis. He has been involved in the research, development and testing of very high performance machines and drives from 10 Watts to 8 MW, with speeds ranging from angle positioning torque-motors to 60,000 rpm machines. Recent work includes developing analysis and design techniques for permanent magnet alternators, brushless d.c. motors, brush d.c. motors, high efficiency induction motors, and very high power density machines.
