Abstract
A reluctance machine system including a reluctance machine having a stator including at least one phase winding and a rotor defining rotor poles and inter-pole gaps, where permanent magnet inserts are positioned within the inter-pole gaps to interact with the currents in the phase windings to provide permanent magnet torque and to improve the machine's performance.
