The permanent magnet generator is a synchronous machine where the rotor windings has been replaced with permanent magnets. This eliminates the excitation loses in the rotor, which otherwise typically represent 20-30% of the total generator loses. The reduced losses also give a lower temperature rise in the generator, which means that a smaller and simpler cooling system can be used.

The temperature reduction in the rotor also reduces the temperature in the bearings, improving reliability by increasing the lifetime of the bearing and bearing grease.

How is a electromagnet diffrent then a permanent magnet?

An electromagnet is a temporary magnet that only produces a magnetic field when an electric current is flowing through it, while a permanent magnet retains its magnetism without needing an external electric current. Additionally, the strength of an electromagnet can be easily adjusted by changing the amount of current flowing through it, while the strength of a permanent magnet is fixed.


Is the magnet in a compass a permanent magnet or electronic?

Is magnetite a temporary magnet?

No, it's a permanent magnet. It consists of an iron oxide, and iron is a permanent magnet.


Is the magnet in a compass a permanent magnetic or an electromagnet?

PermanentThere is no source of current in a compass, therefore the magnet is a permanent magnet.


How can a magnet be temporarily magnetized when attached to a permanent magnet?

When a magnet is attached to a permanent magnet, it can become temporarily magnetized by aligning its magnetic domains with the strong magnetic field of the permanent magnet. This alignment causes the magnet to exhibit magnetic properties for a short period of time.
