Notes

  1. 1.

    A simple indicator of the prevalence of PM machines can be achieved by examining the increase of the relative number of associated academic papers. For illustration, the ratio between number of papers that is associated with PM/PM synchronous/brushless DC and induction/asynchronous motors in the IEEE internet base grew from 0.13 for the period before 1990 to 0.54 after 1990 and to 0.65 after year 2000.
