Advantages of Synchronous Reluctance Motors

Authors

Abstract

Synchronous reluctance motors are a new
range of standardized electric motors developed by ABB for
utilities and industrial consumers to improve their system
performance and efficiency along with the benefit of being
able to lower their footprint on the environment. These
motors, which are delivered to customers in full package
combined with frequency converter combines the
performance and efficiency of permanent magnet
technology with the simplicity, cost-efficiency and servicefriendliness
of induction motors. An innovative rotor
construction brings lower losses and allows to use higher
density of power in the motor construction. These motors
are delivered in variant with efficiency accordance to IE4
efficiency level and in variant high output, which is
characterised with high concentration of density.
