| Abstract: | ABSTRACT The analysis of the magnetic circuit of an axial air-gap, battery-excited reluctance motor is presented. Permeance coefficients from which machine inductance can be calculated are derived. Inductance values calculated from these permeance coefficients are compared with values determined by magnetic analogs and by studies of air gap magnetic potential distribution using relaxation techniques and the Finite Element technique. |
