Choice of parameters in the hybrid permanent-magnet synchronous motor

Hybrid permanent-magnet reluctance motors have to be designed with many performance parameters in mind. The configuration is not a simple one, and some parts of the magnetic circuit operate in the nonlinear regime. The effect of the choice of design dimensions is considered, and the effect on pull-out torque computed as some of the important paramenters are varied. It is seen that some design parameters have a major effect on performance, although others are much less critical.
