Abstract

A method for categorizing performance of a PMSM coupled to a drive shaft, and powered by a battery via an inverter. The method comprising: decoupling the PMSM from drive shaft; performing a first retardation test to measure the flux linkage of the permanent magnets, PM flux, in the PMSM; performing a second retardation test in which the inverter is disconnected, to measure the no-load power losses of the PMSM; correlating the PM flux with the no-load power losses in a health parameter of the PMSM, and comparing the health parameter with reference data of known health parameters of a population of PMSMs; categorizing the performance of the PMSM based on the compared health parameter.
