Abstract :
The aim of this paper is to examine and validate the use of finite-element, analytical and lumped circuit modelling for calculating the saturation curves and hence the operating characteristics of axially-laminated synchronous reluctance motors. Methods for measuring the saturation curves are also discussed. Comparisons are given with experimental results for a 120W motor
