Acoustic Noise Reduction and Power Factor Correction in Switched Reluctance Motor Drives

Acoustic Noise Reduction of Switched Reluctance Motor Drives

This paper presents a simple and novel procedure for acoustic noise reduction in Switched Reluctance Motors (SRMs) drive. The main sources of acoustic noise in a SRM are the radial magnetic force and torque ripple. To investigate the radial force, an analytical relationship between motor designs and drive parameters is required. Thus, in this method two mathematical methods for calculation of r...

Investigation on the Power Factor Correction Circuits for Switched Reluctance Motor Drives

Digital Control of Switched Reluctance Motor Drives

drives are designed to increase product performance and system efficiency. One such motor type which can benefit from digital control is the switched reluctance (SR) motor. The SR motor brings advantages in both cost and reliability over other types of adjustable speed drives. These include its simple mechanical construction, high efficiency and high power density. On the other hand, large torq...

Design Optimization of Switched Reluctance Motor for Noise Reduction

Article history: Received: 5.1.2016. Received in revised form: 15.3.2016. Accepted: 15.3.2016. With finite element method (FEM) using ANSYS finite element (FE) package, an electromagneticstructural simulation model is introduced for the switched reluctance motor (SRM). Since the main reason of noise and vibration in the SRM is a radial force applied to stator poles, the 2D FE transient analysis...

Torque ripple, vibrations, and acoustic noise in switched reluctance motors

The paper presents a state of the art review on the subject of torque ripple, vibrations, and acoustic noise in Switched Reluctance Motors (SRM). The approach of the multi-phase operation of SRM is also reviewed. Moreover, further directions of research on these subjects are introduced.
