LINE-START SYNCHRONOUS RELUCTANCE MOTOR WITH IMPROVED PERFORMANCE

摘要

A line start synchronous-reluctance (LSSRM) brushless motor includes a stator that is arranged at an inner circumferential surface of a motor body and that extends longitudinally along an axis to define a central opening. A rotor assembly is disposed in the central opening. The rotor assembly includes a rotor that is configured to rotate via a shaft, and that is surrounded by the stator to define an air gap between an outer edge of the rotor and the stator. The rotor assembly further includes a plurality rotor slots arranged along the circumference of the outer edge, and at least one magnetic flux barrier aligned with a group of opposing rotor slots.
