Coupled Analysis for Cylindrical Rotor Type Switched Reluctance Motor

Abstract

In previous papers, we proposed the Cylindrical Rotor Type Switched Reluctance Motor (SRM), in which q-axis short-circuited windings were wound around the q-axis iron poles of the rotor and the stator windings were excited by the usual pulse current. It is confirmed experimentally that the short-circuited windings reduced the q-axis leakage flux and caused additional torque generation. In this paper we describe characteristic analysis of the new type SRM using the circuit simulation considering all the inductances coupled with the FEM analysis.
