Abstract
In this paper, a start-up synchronous reluctance
motor (SynRM) is modelled using the approach of 2D Finite
Element Method (FEM). Finite Element Analysis (FEA)
approach is used to analyze the synchronized and
unsynchronized behavior of a synchronous motor with the
application of cage bars in the rotor structure for transient
characteristics. Two SynRMs (1 and 2) are modelled. Both are
compared in terms of starting and synchronizing on load and on
no-load. Again the variables (Efficiency and power Factor) of
both machines were calculated and compared. Only SynRM2 is
used to investigate the variation of applied voltages. The
simulated results shows at which supply voltage can the motor
stabilized and also the parameters that was taken into account
for proper stabilization.
