OPERATION CHARACTERISTICS OF VARIABLE RELUCTANCE MOTOR SUPPLIED WITH BIPOLAR CURRENT

Influence of Operation Conditions Upon the Dynamic Steady State Performance of Switched Reluctance Motor

In order to obtain more accurate predicted dynamic steady-state performance with shorter computation time, an available mathematical model is modified and presented. Using this modified model, performance of a typical switched reluctance motor (SRM) under a wide range of variations of operating conditions is obtained and discussed. These include variations of speed, voltage, load and switching ...

Simulation of a Variable Reluctance Steping Motor for Sinusoidal and Step Exitations

Steady-state dynamic simulation of a variable reluctance stepping motor is carried out by applying two different excitation voltages. First a single-step voltage is applied to the motor, and a sinusoidal voltage, as the first term of Fourier series of the single-step voltage, is then used as the input voltage of the motor. In both cases plots of machine torque, current and speed are presented. ...

A Novel Hybrid-Excited Modular Variable Reluctance Motor for Electric Vehicle Applications: Analysis, Comparison, and Implementation

A variable reluctance machine (VRM) has been proven to be an outstanding candidate for electric vehicle (EV) applications. This paper introduces a new double-stator, 12/14/12-pole three-phase hybrid-excited modular variable reluctance machine (MVRM) for EV applications. In order to demonstrate the superiorities of the proposed structure, the static torque characteristics and dynamic performance...

Switched Reluctance Motor

Switched Reluctance Motors (SRM) have inherent advantages such as simple structure with non winding construction in rotor side, fail safe because of its characteristic which has a high tolerances, robustness, low cost with no permanent magnet in the structure, and possible operation in high temperatures or in intense temperature variations. The torque production in switched reluctance motor com...
