An optimal design for a rotor of SynRM is proposed on this paper. The inductances of the machine computed in dq-axes allow determining machine performance and the motor behavior. High magnetic saturation on this kind of motor increases the difficulty of inductance calculation. Hence, the finite element analysis is currently used to design and optimize SynRM, from the first instance. This method usually requires a high amount of computational time and resources. For this reason, the reluctance network here proposed is a good alternative to consider for designing these motors, because it is a fast and good method to obtain the inductances of the SynRM. Therefore, an optimal design avoiding FEA is proposed on this paper using the reluctance network to calculate the dq-axes motor inductances.
