An Enhanced Simple Method for Designing Switched Reluctance Motors Under Multi-Phase Excitation

Abstract

Part 2 of 3 of the Second Annual Report covers "design" activities performed under Task (b) - "Design of the SRM" of this ONR Grant. The activities were performed from 5/1/99 to 5/30/00. This report shows a simplified method for designing switched reluctance motors (SRM) under multi-phase excitation while taking into account the loading constraints imposed on the machine. The SRM configurations considered are the 6/4 and 12/8 SRM with short-, fractional- and full-pitch windings, and the 8/6 and 10/8 SRM with short-pitch windings. The results illustrate that the perceived advantages of some configurations under multi-phase excitation are difficult to achieve when taking into account the constraints of the SRM magnetic loading.
