Abstract
Synchronous reluctance motor (SynRM) is superior in maintenance, generates few heat in the rotor and suits high-speed drive, because it has no winding and magnet in rotor. Recently, SynRM is drawing the attention. Therefore many designs of the rotor are proposed. In this paper, we examine a synchronous reluctance motor with multi-flux barrier. Firstly, the structure of motor is discussed. Secondly, analytical results of flux distribution and characteristics of SynRM are shown. Finally, the experimented results of prototype motor are discussed.
