Abstract

In this article, synchronous reluctance motors with multiple-segment rotor structures are considered. The presence of stator slots is taken into account, with respect to torque ripple. An analytical model is presented, based on magnetic interaction between the d and q axes, due to stator toothing. The effect of skewing is also considered, showing its partial effect on torque ripple reduction, due to the rotor anisotropy. A closed expression for the torque is obtained, giving the torque ripple as a function of design parameters. Experimental verification of the proposed model is given, from measurements on prototype motors
