A permanent magnet motor is an electric motor that employs permanent magnets to generate a magnetic field, thereby removing the need for an external excitation current. It typically features a rotor with permanent magnets and a stator equipped with windings. These motors are appreciated for their efficiency, compact design, and reliability, making them ideal for a range of applications, from household appliances to sophisticated automotive systems.

Permanent magnet motors come in several main types include permanent magnet alternating current (PMAC) motors, permanent magnet direct current (PMDC) motors, and brushless direct current (DC) motors. Permanent magnet AC motors, also known as permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSMs), utilize permanent magnets in the rotor to produce a steady magnetic field. They are available in various power ratings, including up to 25 kW, 25-100 kW, 100-300 kW, 300 kW, and above. These motors find applications in automotive, industrial, consumer electronics, aerospace and defense, energy and power generation, and healthcare sectors, serving a range of end users in industrial, commercial, and residential contexts.
