Abstract

The paper describes the design and control method of the synchronous reluctance machine with improved efficiency compared to traction induction motor for electric vehicle application.

Magnetic field finite element modelling is used in the design process. The paper presents load characteristics calculation method for the design process, considering the cross magnetic saturation effect. Control algorithm with constant d-axis current control method is developed in the research. The prototype of the machine is constructed and tested.
