Studying Crawling Effect in Line-Start Synchronous Reluctance Motors (LS-SynRM) Conference Paper uri icon

abstract

  • 2016 IEEE. Line starting capability of Synchronous Reluctance Motors (SynRM) is a crucial challenge in their design that if solved, could lead to a valuable category of motors. In this paper, the so-called crawling effect as a potential problem in Line-Start Synchronous Reluctance Motors (LS-SynRM) is analyzed. Two interfering scenarios on LS-SynRM start-up are introduced and one of them is treated in detail by constructing the asynchronous model of the motor. In the third section, a definition of this phenomenon is given utilizing a sample cage configuration. The LS-SynRM model and characteristics are compared with that of a reference induction motor (IM) in all sections of this work to convey a better perception of successful and unsuccessful synchronization consequences to the reader. Several important post effects of crawling on motor performance are discussed in the rest of the paper to evaluate how it would influence the motor operation. All simulations have been performed using Finite Element Analysis (FEA).
