Wpływ kształtu szczeliny powietrznej na właściwości silnika synchronicznego wzbudzanego magnesami trwałymi

The paper presents a comparison between silent pole and cylindrical construction of medium power LSPMSM. On the basis of computational results investigations of higher harmonics of flux density, back emf and armature current in a Line-Start Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor have been conducted. They show that salient pole construction is characterized by much lower amplitudes of magnetic field zonal harmonics. It contributes to minimization of additional losses in magnetic core and squirrel cage. Full load characteristics for both constructions have been obtained. Calculated curves of: current, power factor and efficiency versus output power are shown.
