DEVELOPMENT AND PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS OF IMPROVED RELUCTANCE MOTOR

Abstract

The dissertation deals with the design, development and performance investigation of a. polyphase reluctance motor. The investigations in the present work are made at normal supply frequency (50 Hz) as wel]. as at variable fre-quency. The whole work of dissertation has been catagorised as introduction, computer aided design, Development of machine and Its parameter determination, performance charac-teristics and conclusions and sug,3Jestions for further work. In chapter.l,an introduction to reluctance motor and the literature review is given . In chapter 2 a.11 the computa - tional design aspects. are described in detail. Chapter 3 deals with the details of developed machine as well as their method of determination. In chapter 4 various performance characteristics at different frequencies are drawn. Where as the concluding chapter 5 deals with the main conclusions and suggestions for further work in this field.
