PROJECT TITLE :

Eccentricity in Synchronous Reluctance Motors—Part I: Analytical and Finite-Element Models

ABSTRACT:

In recent years, there's a growing interest for synchronous reluctance machines. This is because of their high torque density, flux-weakening operation capability, and high fault-tolerance capability. This paper deals with the analysis of a synchronous reluctance machine when eccentricity occurs. Both static and dynamic eccentricity are thought of. An analytical model to predict the machine performance is described. For instance, a four-pole reluctance machine is analyzed, considering single, along with multi flux-barriers per pole. The finite-part analysis confirms the results achieved by means that of the proposed analytical model.
