    • A torque ripple analysis on reluctance synchronous machines 

      Hanekom, Alwyn Nicolaas (Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2006)
      Reluctance Synchronous Machines (RSM) have, due to their rotor geometry, an inherently high torque ripple. This torque ripple is defined as the deviation of the minimum and maximum torque from the average value. It is ...

    • A performance study of a voltage-fed reluctance synchronous machine 

      Smith, Robert Albert (Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2013)
      The reluctance synchronous machine (RSM) operates on the principle of magnetic reluctance, which is produced through a careful selection of rotor flux barriers and cut-outs. Magnetic reluctivity is the resistance to magnetic ...
