In this paper, we develop and examine permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSMs) by use of both stator and rotor cores made of nanocrystalline magnetic materials (NMMs). We report core loss properties of the PMSM with the NMM under inverter excitation. In addition, we compare core losses of the PMSM with conventional non-oriented (NO) steel sheets under inverter excitation to discuss the core loss characteristics of the NMM motor. In average, under inverter excitation, the reduction ratio in core loss of the PMSM made of NMM is about 60% as compared with the core loss of the PMSM with NO sheets. In particular, the average decrease obtained by using NMM rotor core instead of NO rotor core is about 30%.
