Abstract :
By the use of a hard magnetic material, such as alnico, in the leakage-flux paths of the secondary circuits of an induction motor, a remarkably high locked-rotor torque per ampere can be obtained without the sacrifice of full-load speed. Test data are presented for both wound-rotor and squirrel-cage motors employing this “Saturistor” principle
