EN This paper presents a new method of reducing the inrush current and improving the starting performance of a line-start permanent-magnet synchronous motor (LSPMSM). The novelty of the proposed method relies on the selection of the time instant of the connection of the stator winding to the grid, for which the smallest values of the amplitudes of inrush currents are obtained. To confirm the effectiveness of the developed method of limiting the inrush current, simulations and experimental studies were carried out. The algorithm and dedicated computer code developed by the authors for the analysis of transient coupled phenomena in the LSPMSM were used to study the impact of the time instant of connection of the winding to the grid on the motor start-up process. The algorithm was based on a field model of coupled electromagnetic and thermal phenomena in the studied motor. To verify the developed model of the phenomena and the proposed method, experimental research was carried out on a purpose-built computerised test stand. Good concordance between the results of the experiments and simulations confirmed the high reliability of the proposed model, as well as the effectiveness of the developed approach in limiting the inrush current and improving the starting performance of LSPMSMs.
