Abstract:
A single-phase line-start synchronous reluctance
motor (LsynRM) has merits of low cost, high efficiency, and
reliability. The LSynRM has the unbalanced magnetic circuit
caused by flux barriers and various shapes of conductor bars.
Thus, the motor can cause the unbalanced starting torque with
the initial starting position of the rotor This paper presents the
design to improve starting performance of the LSynRM for
household appliances. Design variables are the number and the
shape of the conductor bars. The motor is analyzed by finite
element (FE) analysis. A SPIM (Single-phase induction motor)
for mass production, a prototype, and a designed model of
LSynRM are manufactured and tested.
