Abstract
A study of a quasi-linear synchronous motor used as a wheelchair
drive is presented with the intent of highlighting the strength of
analytical and simulation tools for low-speed fractional horsepower
devices. The method of analysis and the development of the controls for
the motor are quite general in their applicability. The analytical field
computation capitalizes on the extraction of key spatial and
constitutive information in the design. The terminal and field relations
are used to examine and simulate control strategies. This information is
especially useful in assessing control constraints (e.g., power supply
voltage). Various schemes for realizing torque and speed control are
discussed. Comparisons between the analytical predictions and actual
motor data are presented
