May 29, 2024 · The developed codes are first used to study the effects of saliency ratio on the performance of PM synchronous machines. These machines share following parameters: Ldn = 0.5; Ran = 0.1; Rfn = 20. The saliency ratio is varied: ρ = 0.5, 1, 1.5, and 2. Figure 1.8 shows the efficiency maps for ρ = 0.5, 1.5, and 2.
