Reluctance Synchronous Machines and Drives

by I. Boldea

Overview

Written by one of the leading authorities in the field, this book explores the potential of reluctance synchronous machines, an emerging type of motor which fully exploits the advantages of power electronics and new materials. The book covers RSM's possible topologies, their characteristics, and their existing and future applications, demonstrating their competitive possibilities for applications from computer peripherals through robotics to electric traction for rail transport. Electrical engineers concerned with machinery design and performance will find the material covered of great value to research and their work.
