Iron loss characteristics of induction motor made of soft Magnetic Composite (SMC)

This paper presents experimental comparison of the load characteristics of soft magnetic composite (SMC) induction motor and conventional laminated induction motor. SMC is used for the stator core of induction motor. As the result, efficiency difference between SMC motor and conventional laminated motor is only 3.7% in spite of the permeability of SMC is 20% lower than conventional electromagnetic steel.
