Abstract
- Three-phase line-start synchronous reluctance motor (LS-SynRM) is started by asynchronous torque generated by the rotor conductor bars, and runs synchronously by reluctance torque generated by the inductance difference. In this article, the rotor structure of an LS-SynRM is designed and optimized, based on the theory and characteristics of LS-SynRMs during starting and steady-state operation. First, the influence of the number of rotor flux barriers and the flux barriers ratio on the dq-axis inductance is simulated, and a better structure of rotor flux barriers is obtained. Second, according to the transient theory, a method of separating each torque during the starting process of LS-SynRMs is proposed, and the main reason for the poor starting ability of the initial LS-SynRM is analyzed. Based on the optimized structure of rotor flux barriers, the influence of the area and distribution of the rotor conductor bars on the starting ability of the LS-SynRM is studied, and the structure of rotor conductor bars under the condition of starting with heavy load (constant load) is determined. Finally, through the prototype test, the rated efficiency of the LS-SynRM is 2.8% higher than that of the SCIM is replaced by three phase squirrel cage induction motor (SCIM), which verifies the accuracy of the simulated results. At the same time, the starting current and the pull-in torque under a specific inertia are tested, and the improved effect of the synchronization ability of the improved LS-SynRM was verified.
