Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Reluctance synchronous machines (RSMs) and drives include a multitude of machine topologies in terms of rotor, stator windings, and stator current control. Line-start (constant speed) and inverter-fed (variable speed) applications are easily achieved in a power range from a few hundred watts to megawatts. RSMs offer strong competition to existing variable speed brushless drives for applications from computer peripherals through robotics to electric traction for rail transport. This book explores fully the possible topologies, their characteristics, and applications.

Includes bibliographical references and index.

CHOICE Review

Boldea discusses reluctance synchronous machines (RSM), a strong contender to other variable speed brushless motors. He comprehensively presents theory, characteristics, application, and different topologies of machines required for computer peripherals, robotics, and electric traction, and which encompass line-start, constant speed, and variable speed inverter-fed applications. Chapter 1 compares RSM with switched reluctance, inductor motors, and permanent magnet motors, based on certain performance indexes. The remaining eight chapters develop RSM theory using advanced mathematics, yielding a range of possible configurations for motors and generators. The extended magnetic circuit and finite element methods for determining field distribution and inductances for different rotor types are presented, as are the theory and performance of cageless and cage rotors, control of motors with and without sensors, and generator modes. A final chapter offers detailed designs of servo, power drive, and line-start motors. Profusely illustrated with photos and diagrams; chapter references. A well-written work suitable for industrial and design engineers, faculty, and graduate students. K. K. Surti; University of New Haven
