Construction of Reluctance Motor
Construction of Reluctance Motor
The construction of this motor is shown below. The designing of this can be done by removing the teeth in four locations to form a four-pole structure.
The rings at two ends are short-circuited. Once the stator of the motor is aligned to a single-phase supply, the motor works like a single-phase induction motor.
Once the motor’s speed reaches the highest level of synchronous speed, then a centrifugal switch will detach the auxiliary winding.
The motor increases the speed like a single-phase motor through the major winding in process.

The torque of this motor can be generated because of the rotor tendency to connect itself in the least reluctance position, once the motor speed is nearer to the synchronous speed. Therefore, the rotor drags in synchronism. The inertia of load must be in the limits for suitable effectiveness.
At synchronization, the torque of induction will disappear, except the rotor remains in synchronization because of the torque in synchronous reluctance.
