Design and analysis of two different line-start PM synchronous motors

This paper presents a comparison between two architectures of line-start permanent magnet motors. It is focused on the performances in synchronous operation as well as the self-starting operations. Time stepping finite element analysis has been used to predict the dynamic and transient performances of the two prototype motors. It has been found that the motor with series magnetic circuit structure has yielded an impressive performance.
