ABSTRACT
An adequate understanding of the close relation existing between performance characteristics and machine parameters is essential for designing any reluctance motor.
The present paper deals mainly with how the steady-state stability of small solid rotor three-phase reluctance motors is affected by the machine parameters. The effects of certain typical machine parameters have been quantitatively demonstrated, which may be instrumental in designing the motor.
To confirm the results obtained, a comparative review of calculated and experimental values is also presented for a number of different machines.
