The paper presents an investigation of the saturation and cross-saturation effects on the d-axis and q-axis reactance of the permanent magnet synchronous motors. Three configurations of the rotor are analyzed. It is shown that the magnetic flux distribution in the q-axis is greatly influenced by the saturation with the increase of the load and this changes the value of the torque load angle at a given output power.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
