Abstract |
A synchronous reluctance motor has many advantages because it has no permanent magnet, such
as low back emf in a high speed operation, keeping performance in a high temperature environment
and so on. Therefore, many rotor constructions are studied and developed. The rotor with
multi-flux barrier structure has the merit of its easy construction and high performances.
The linear synchronous reluctance motor have been developed. It is necessary to improve the
performance by the mover design for industrial applications.
In this paper, we propose a novel configuration of mover for the linear synchronous reluctance
motor, and examine the static characteristics of the linear synchronous reluctance motor with
reluctance equalization design by using the finite element method. From analytical results, it is
cleared that the static characteristics of the linear synchronous reluctance motor is greatly improved by
the reluctance equalization design at the iron layer in the mover. |
