Abstract
A series of new solid rotor reluctance machines have been proposed to achieve high saliency ratio. It is shown that proper distribution of magnetic and non-magnetic materials can result in improved performance. The saliency ratios and configurations of experimental machines are also given. The solid rotor design is attractive from manufacturing point of view. The paper discusses the analysis, performance and design aspects of reluctance motors. The design and performance of a series of experimental machines is also given.
