High-speed motor driven in low voltage are used in equipment such as electric reel and handy vacuum cleaner. If a motor with a general structure used in an operating range of several thousand revolutions is used as it is in a high-speed range of several tens of thousands of revolutions, efficiency will decrease due to a large amount of iron loss. In this paper, we proposed models in which the stator teeth length and the magnet material were changed in order to suppress the iron loss that causes the efficiency reduction of the high-speed PM motor. In this case, since the eddy current loss occurs in the armature conductor, the effect of reducing the conductor eddy current loss by using the Litz wire was also examined. As a result, it was shown that the proposed model improves the efficiency compared to the conventional structure.
