The synchronous reluctance motor achieves high efficiencies also at low speeds, which sets it apart from common electric drives. In addition, it does away with the need for magnetic materials, which are used for conventional synchronous motors. These materials are made from rare earths whose extraction causes considerable environmental impacts in their countries of origin.
