Abstract(s)
Line-started permanent magnet synchronous motors emerged in the market in response to strict efficiency goals. Despite being a synchronous motor, the rotor of a line-started permanent magnet synchronous motor contains a squirrel cage and, consequently, the behaviour under transient periods and/or faulty operation is not the same as for a conventional synchronous motor. In order to study this kind of electrical machine, it is proposed in this paper an equivalent circuit model and a set of experimental tests to extract the parameters of the equivalent circuit of a line-started permanent magnet synchronous motor. To validate the presented approach, a computer model of the machine, based on the obtained parameters, was developed, and the simulation results were compared with the experimental motor performance.
