Parameter measurement for synchronous reluctance motors considering stator iron loss

To achieve precise analysis and control for synchronous reluctance motors based on the model, which takes stator iron loss into account, machine parameters in the voltage equation need to measure in advance. Accordingly, we present the machine parameter measurement scheme by the single-phase test. This method is simple and does not need to use complex mathematical theory and equations, because this measurement is achieved in standstill conditions without any expensive equipment. In this proposed method, we can measure all machine parameters in the voltage equation for synchronous reluctance motors. The validity of the proposed method is confirmed by experiments.
