Instead of the permanently fixed poles found in the rotor of the reluctance
synchronous design, hysteresis rotor poles are induced by the rotating
magneticfield.Duringtheaccelerationperiod,thestatorfieldwillrotateata
speedfasterthantherotor,andthepoleswhichitinducesintherotorwill
shiftarounditsperiphery.Whentherotorspeedreachesthatoftherotating
statorfield,therotorpoleswilltakeupafixedposition.
If the load is increased beyond the capacity of the motor, the poles on the
peripheryoftherotorcorewillshift.
Iftheloadisthenreducedtothepullincapacityofthemotor,thepoleswill
take up fixed positions until the motor is again overloaded or stopped and
restarted.
The hysteresis rotor will lockin at any position, in contrast to the
reluctance rotor which has only the lockin points corresponding to the
salientpolesontherotor.

4.1MotorTemperature
Amajorconsiderationinbothmotordesignandapplicationisheat.Excessiveheat

2. Causeabreakdownofbearinggrease,thusdamagingthebearingsystemofa

2. Internalormotortemperaturerise.
Mostmotorsaredesignedtooperateinamaximumambienttemperatureof40C.If

Thetemperatureriseistheresultofheatgeneratedbymotorlossesduring

Atnoload,frictioninthebearings,corelosses(eddycurrentandhysteresis

Atfullload,additionallosseswhichcauseheatingarerotorI2Rlossesand
