Induction motor made of SMC

In this presentation the development of an induction motor of which stator core is made of molded SMC (Soft Magnetic Composite) will be presented. The molded core shows low iron loss compared to the iron loss of machined core. Iron loss of machined core is large because of the heat at the machining of bulk SMC. Moreover, by using SMC, 3D shaped core is easily constructed. The teeth of the stator core extended in order to enlarge the pole surface area in the same outer volume of the motor.
