Abstract—The torque produced by a synchronous reluctance machine (including the permanent-magnet-assisted machine) is studied analytically, with the aim of pointing out the effect of the position of the flux barriers on the torque ripple. It is verified that the position of the flux-barrier ends highly influences the torque waveform. With the aim of reducing torque harmonic contents, a new strategy is proposed based on the choice of couples of flux barriers of different shapes. The flux-barrier geometry is chosen so as to obtain a compensation between the torque harmonics produced by each couple. Experimental results on two prototypes confirm the analytical prediction.
