Abstract
This paper presents a proposed structure model for a 6/4 switched reluctance motor (SRM) in order to improve the average torque production with ripple minimization. Therefore, it describes the differences between the standard 6/4 pole SRM and the proposed one in static and dynamic characteristics using Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and Matlab/Simulink package. FEA is used to obtain the nonlinear magnetization characteristics of the SRM to be used in Matlab Simulation model. The effects of different poles construction on the SRM performance are investigated. Validation of the computational methods is carried out by comparing the calculated static characteristics with the ones measured experimentally on 6/4 SRM prototype. The obtained results illustrate minimized torque ripples and better performance for the proposed SRM. A drive system for the SRM is implemented and a series of results are illustrated and discussed.
