  • Abstract
    A new mechanically robust construction for an ultrahigh-speed synchronous reluctance rotor is presented. The two-pole rotor design incorporates soft magnetic flux guides inside nonmagnetic matrix material. Two prototypes based on the concept were constructed and tested. This paper describes the electromagnetic and mechanical design principles of the novel rotor concept.
