Abstract :
The design of line-start Synchronous Reluctance machines is proposed, based on the state of the art of motors designed for closed loop, vector control. The guidelines for overcoming the dilemma between synchronization capability and steady state performance are given, with examples of good and bad design choices. The proposed solutions compared via finite element analysis with a competitor induction motor in terms of efficiency and power factor. The finite element calculations are finally validated via experiments on a laboratory prototype.
