Handbook of Magnetic Material for Motor Drive Systems

This handbook, as the second edition of published book, Magnetic Material for Motor Drive Systems, is edited for researchers and engineers working for realization of more efficient and down-sizing motor drive systems by utilizing magnetic materials with complex properties based on the operation of motors and power electronics. The magnetic materials and the motor drive system have mutual interactive characteristics due to electromagnetically coupling with the same current and voltage, so it is extremely important to have both viewpoints. In this handbook, for that purpose, the fundamental concepts of electrical engineering and magnetic science and engineering are described here for both researchers' and engineers' understanding. At the same time, in order to develop new materials from the viewpoint of motor drive systems and to utilize the magnetic material, this handbook widely discusses about the multi-scale analysis technology thattraces back to the magnetic domain structure and first-principles calculations, the basics of current materials and new magnetic materials, the fundamental magnetic measurement technology of magnetic material, and the application of magnetic technology.It is expected that the knowledge gained through the book will lead to the realization of a new high-efficiency and compact motor drive system based on magnetic science and engineering, and that it will greatly contribute to the coming EV society.
