A Homothetic Scaling Criteria for Synchronous Reluctance Machines Design

This article proposes a concept for homothetic scaling of Synchronous Reluctance (SynRel) machines with the aim to generate design wide range power ratings. A generalized modeling approach, based on saliency ratio, is presented in detail analytically evaluate magnetic behavior scaled SynRel machines. The analytical model has been applied and validated through finite element analysis. General functions are derived size performance using data resulting from model. accuracy proposed validated, operating conditions, comparing results experimental measurement carried out two 4-poles prototypes. These have designed method proposed, which proven be quick accurate preliminary sizing tool motors.
