Abstract :
METHODS OF DESIGN, described previously for the reluctance motor, present a design procedure which results in three major steps. The three steps are: (1) choose trial dimensions and windings, (2) calculate the motor constants, and (3) calculate the performance of the trial design. Previous articles have described the method of choosing the optimum dimensions, calculating the constants and the performance. No method has been described which allows the designer to choose the correct number of turns and the wire size for a given or specified performance.
