BASIC FACT
When a piece of magnetic material is loaded in a magnetic field a force acts on the material tending them to bring it into the most dense portion. Force tends to align the specimen of material in such a way that the reluctance of the magnetic path lies through the material will be minimum.

STATOR CONSTRUCTION
Similar to induction motor. Outer frame to cover whole machine. Next to frame stator core is available. Stator core made up of silicon material to reduce hysteresis and eddy current loss Core have slots. Slots used for housing the stator winding.

ROTOR CONSTRUCTION
No permanent magnets. No separate field winding for excitation on rotor. Have salient pole rotor core. Made up of solid steel material or laminated sheets. Low cost, high efficiency and capable of operating at very high speeds.

WORKING PRINCIPLE
Works on the basic principle of minimum reluctance position. Sinusoidal rotating field is produced in the air gap when stator winding is excited by AC supply. Produced field exerts reluctance torque on the unsymmetrical rotor. Tending to align the salient pole axis of the rotor with the axis of revolving magnetic field.
10
WORKING PRINCIPLE
Rotor tries to align with the minimum reluctance position by developing reluctance torque in between stator and rotor. No core in the rotor so no core or copper loss.
11
WORKING PRINCIPLE
If reluctance torque is sufficient to start the motor, the rotor will pull into step with revolving field.
12
WORKING PRINCIPLE
The rotor continue to run at the speed of the revolving field. The rotor revolves synchronously, its poles lag behind the stator pole by a certain angle known as torque angle. The reluctance torque increases with the increase in torque angle.
13
ADVANTAGES
No need field excitation at zero torque. More reliable then PM machines. Rotors are constructed from high strength and low cost materials. The motors can be operated from standard PWM ac inverters. Have capability to survive very high temperature. Motor has simple and rugged construction. High speed capability.

DISADVANTAGES
Compared to induction motor it is slightly heavier and has low power factor.
