Abstract
The reluctance synchronous motor performance highly depends on its saliency ratio. Therefore an accurate analytical calculation of the motor’s saliency is quite a necessity within the designing procedure. In this paper an analytical method to calculate the main motor inductances and its saliency ratio is applied to a segmented rotor reluctance synchronous motor. The results obtained for two motor variants, compared with the ones obtained via a 2-D FEM computation and via tests, stand by to prove the proposed technique accuracy.
