On the Influence of Increased Stator Leakage Inductance in Single Tooth Wound Synchronous Reluctance Motors (2017)
Journal Article
Donaghy-Spargo, C., Mecrow, B., & Widmer, J. (2018). On the Influence of Increased Stator Leakage Inductance in Single Tooth Wound Synchronous Reluctance Motors. IEEE Transactions on Industrial Electronics, 65(6), 4475 -4482. https://doi.org/10.1109/tie.2017.2772180

This paper explores the leakage inductance of a single tooth wound synchronous reluctance motor and its influence on motor performance. It is shown that the stator leakage inductance heavily influences the true saliency ratio in synchronous reluctanc...
