Features of SRM
– The Switched Reluctance Motor
■ Doubly-Salient, Singly-Excited motor
■ Poles on both rotor and stator
■ Only stator carries windings
■ The rotor has no windings, magnets,or cage winding
■ Rotor is simply a stack of salient pole laminations
– Advantage
■ The rotor is simple, requires relatively few manufacturing steps and
tends to have a low inertia.
■ The stator is simple to wind
■ The bulk of the losses occur in the stator part and is easy to cool
down
■ Because there are no magnets the maximum permissible rotor
temperature may be higher than in PM macines

» The torque is independent of the polarity of phase current. This
permits a reduction in the number of power semiconductor
switches needed in the controller
» Under fault conditions the open circuit voltage and short circuit
current are zero or very small
» Without excessive inrush current high starting current is possible
» Extremely high speeds are possible
» The toque/speed characteristics can be tailored to the application
requirement
» Low material cost
– Disadvantages
» Per unit copper loss high
» Torque ripple and acoustic noise

Poles,Phases and windings
f 1= n N r = rpm/60 Nr Hz
N - speed in rev/sec
N r - the number of rotor poles
If q-number of phases then q Nr steps per revolution and the step
angle is
ε = 360 / q Nr

Constraints on the pole
The number of stator poles exceeds the number of stator poles.
min{βr, βs}= β
In order to get the largest possible variation of phase inductance with rotor
position, the inter polar arc of the rotor must exceed the stator pole arc.
The stator pole arc is made slightly smaller than the rotor pole arc.

Torque Equation
Consider the primitive SRM.
When current is passed through the phase winding the rotor tends to align
with the stator poles.
T= {∂W’/∂θ}I=constant
An equivalent expression is
T= -{∂W/∂θ}ψ=constant

If magnetic saturation is negligible, then the
relationship between flux linkage and current at
instantaneous rotor position θ is a straight line
whose slope is instantaneous inductance L.
– Thus ψ = L I

Converter Circuits
» The torque is independent of the direction of the current
» Phase current is unidirectioinal
» Unipolar controller circuit.
» The phases are independent
» The upper and lower phase leg are switched on together at the
start of each conduction period
» At the commutation point both are switched off
» During the conduction period either or both of them may be
chopped
» At the end of the conduction period when both switches are
turned off any stored magnetic energy that has not been converted
to mechanical work is returned to the supply by the current free
wheeling through the diodes

The Need for Computer Modeling
» The switched reluctance motor does not have steady state
» CAD package must incorporate both design and simulation
cpability
» Percentage structure to be modeled
» The Stator Model
» The Rotor Model
» Airgap discretization
» Simulation of rotation
» Boundary Conditions
» Pre-processing and post-processing
