This document provides information about permanent magnet synchronous machines. It discusses the benefits of using permanent magnets in electrical machines, including higher efficiency and power density. It classifies permanent magnets and describes different types of permanent magnet synchronous machines, focusing on their construction aspects like rotor configuration (radial, axial, transverse), rotor position (inner rotor, outer rotor), and permanent magnet positioning (surface mounted, buried, inset). It also provides the operating principle, equivalent circuit model and voltage equations for permanent magnet synchronous machines.
