APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR DIAGNOSING PERMANENT MAGNET DEMAGNETIZATION OF PERMANENT MAGNET SYNCHRONOUS MOTOR, AND APPARATUS FOR DRIVING PERMANENT MAGNET SYNCHRONOUS MOTOR

摘要

Provided are an apparatus and a method for diagnosing permanent magnet demagnetization of a permanent magnet synchronous motor. The apparatus includes a magnetic field generating unit, a stator current measuring unit, and a demagnetization diagnosing unit. The magnetic field generating unit generates magnetic fields of which directions are respectively parallel to a predetermined direction among a plurality of directions passing through a rotation axis of a rotor, on a plane vertical to the rotation axis of the rotor which is in a standstill. The stator current measuring unit measures currents which flow in a stator winding in correspondence with the respective generated magnetic fields. The demagnetization diagnosing unit compares a predetermined reference value and a comparison value which is calculated on the basis of the magnitudes of the stator winding currents which are measured in correspondence with the respective generated magnetic fields to diagnose demagnetization of a permanent magnet attached to the rotor.
