Starting performance analysis for a single-phase capacitor-run permanent magnet motor with skewed rotor slots

Abstract

This paper presents the novel starting performance analysis for a single-phase capacitor-run permanent magnet motor with skewed rotor slots. 2-D time-stepping finite element analysis has been used to successfully predict the starting performance of the prototype motor by using a multislice model. The agreement between computed and measured results of the prototype motor validates the proposed analysis. The run-up response corresponding to skew pitch has been given from the simulation results.
