Design and Analysis of Outer Segmental Rotor Synchronous Reluctance Machine for Future Electric Bike

Abstract

This paper presents the design and analysis of Outer Segmental Rotor Synchronous Reluctance motor, used for the propulsion of electrical bike. In conventional base design the flux leakage and iron losses were high. To reduce flux leakage and iron losses the rotor of conventional design is change with segmental rotor. The iron losses is further decrease by designing the flux barrier on the core of rotor due which the weight, cost and iron losses is decreased significantly. All proposed design have better performance in term of average torque, efficiency and losses.
