Switched reluctance motors (SRMs) are simple in structure, easy to manufacture, magnet-less, brushless, and highly robust compared other AC which makes them a good option for applications that operate harsh environment. However, the motor has non-linear magnetic characteristics, it comes with various pole-phase combinations circuit topologies causes many difficulties deciding on type choose. In...

This paper presents the performance computation of three-phase 6/4 poles Switched Reluctance Motor (SRM) with amorphous alloy core using transient Finite Element Analysis (FEA) in which the magnetic field is combined with a driving circuit. In order to minimize torque ripple in SRM, this paper proposes not only optimal combination of stator pole arc and rotor pole arc but also the turn-on and t...

The switched reluctance motor (SRM) is a promising candidate for electric propulsion systems. In the design process of an SRM, geometry needs to be determined. Using finite element method (FEM) might time-consuming sizing geometry. As alternative, electromagnetic models based on magnetic equivalent circuit (MEC) can utilized SRM. MEC require fewer computational resources and help determine perf...

Switched reluctance motors are tremendously increasing in usage. Monitoring the motor performance online is essential, in order to maintain the health of the motor as well as for a continual application process carried out by the SRM. Though certain fault detection methods are available based on comparator circuits, those methods are inefficient, because they need human attention to identify th...

In the case of one phase failure, the switched reluctance motor (SRM) will behave nearly the same, both in open circuit and in short circuit failure. This means, that the machine will understand the two faults in the same way which makes the SRM faults detection and diagnosis a more challenging task. In this paper, a diagnosis method based on statistical pattern recognition (PR) analysis associ...

This paper presents newsensorless rotor position detection for a Three-phase single switch SR motor with regeneration capability at standstill mode. The proposed method is based on the dependency of phase current waveform at turn off time to rotor position angle. It is shown that the combination of a motor with single switch per phase converter and a transient voltage suppressor (TVS) circuit d...
