For the high-speed permanent magnet synchronous motors (HSPMSMs), their magnetic fields are more complicated with the rotating magnetization and harmonics considered. Furthermore, there are interaction effects on motor iron loss from high frequency, temperature and compressive stress. In order to obtain the accurate HSPMSM iron loss calculation model, different iron loss models are proposed considering these physical factors, and the iron loss model considering the interaction effect of the multi-physics factors is given. The magnetic field, temperature field and stress field are analyzed for HSPMSM by FEM. Then the proposed models are employed to calculate the iron loss of the silicon steel sheet and the prototype. The accuracy of the proposed iron loss model, which can consider the interaction effect of the multi-physics factors, is verified by the experimental test measurements on the prototype.
