Many industrial projects fail to capture the full value of large permanent magnet motors, not because of the technology itself, but because early engineering decisions are misunderstood or overlooked. Having supported large PM motor applications across critical industries, Valmir Andrade, Wolong Technology Leader, frequently sees questions around when a VFD is truly required — and when this costly hardware can be avoided. With the right application evaluation, self-starting permanent magnet motors can be applied with a direct and positive impact on reliability, risk exposure, and total cost of ownership. In the images below, he shares a design and application perspective ...
We've discussed how SMPM technology drives higher efficiency and power density, and how large PM machines have become strategic assets across multiple industries. But one key question remains: what should users understand about Magnets Demagnetization (DI)? This final post of my 4‑part series ...
