In nowadays electrical drives that must satisfy complex technological processes often use high power synchronous machines. Design of such motors must account not only for stationary but also for dynamical operation. Then the predetermination of the dynamical operation by modeling and simulation becomes a mandatory step in deriving parameters and constructive solutions. In this paper we propose a mathematical model, a useful and versatile instrument in achieving this objective with accuracy. Quantitative results underline the valuable information produced by modeling and simulating different approaches to saturation in the synchronous machine under dynamic working conditions.
