Line start permanent magnet assisted synchronous reluctance motor (LSPMaSynRM) is an important high-efficiency and high-quality motor. Its parameter matching and operating characteristics are complex, with an increase in salient ratio resulting in a valley in the power factor curve. In this study, the formation principle of power factor curve valley was first deduced by the mathematical model of LSPMaSynRM. Then, the parameter matching principle of power factor curve valley was analyzed in detail. On this basis, the characteristics of load rate corresponding to the critical state of the power factor curve valley were obtained, and its influence on whole load efficiency was analyzed. The design principles for optimal efficiency in wide high-efficiency region and specific load point were obtained. Finally, a 5.5 kW LSPMaSynRM was designed and manufactured to verify the validity of the principle.
