Abstract

The performance of a Synchronous Reluctance Motor (SynRM) in terms of torque and power factor depends on the two-axis inductances L<SUB>d</SUB> and L<SUB>q</SUB> of the machine. The Axially Laminated Anisotropic (ALA) rotor should be proposed in an effort to increase the L<SUB>d</SUB>/ L<SUB>q</SUB>ratio and the L<SUB>d</SUB>-L<SUB>q</SUB> difference to secure high torque density and high power factor. So, ALA rotor is suitable for high speed instruments. This paper deals with optimum design of Axially Laminated Anisotropic Synchronous Reluctance Motor (ALA-SynRM) and comparison of characteristics with induction motor. Coupled Finite Element Methodology (FEM) & Response Surface Methodology (RSM) have been used to evaluate optimum design solutions. Comparisons are given with characteristics of a same rated wattage induction motor and those of ALA-SynRM respectively.
