This Paper presents the transient analysis of the single-phase line-start permanent magnet synchronous motor. To analyse the starting characteristics, the dynamic equation which is combined electric dynamic equations with mechanical dynamic equation is used. The electric dynamics are derived from the d-q axis voltages of stator and rotor respectively. Especially, symmetrical components transformation is used to consider unbalanced magnetic field which is produced by single-phase input. Non-linear d-q axis inductances according to current amplitude and current phase angle are calculated by Finite Element Method and applied to lumped parameter circuit. The analysis methods are validated by comparing simulated and experimental results.
