Abstract :
A methodology for steady-state performance analysis and design of the doubly-fed reluctance motor (DFRM) is presented in this paper. Emphasis is placed on the linear model of the DFRM, but magnetic nonlinearities are also characterized. A prototype 2 HP DFRM is designed and built in comparison with an induction motor. Performance of the prototype 2 HP DFRM motor is analyzed thoroughly and is supported by actual measurements, wherever available
