Abstract

The simple construction, robust design, and low cost of the Switched Reluctance Motor (SRM) made it an attractive candidate for many applications. This paper presents the detailed performance of 6/4 SRM. This motor has been considered in order to explain the effect of balanced and unbalanced operation. For this respect, extensive experimental tests and results have been obtained. The carried tests have been classified into Measuring the self-inductance using DC source at several rotor positions, Measuring the steady state balanced and unbalanced torque-speed characteristics, Static loading (R, RL Loads), and recoding the detailed SRM dynamic performance in terms of terminal quantities (current, voltage and flux linkage) at low speeds and high speeds. Moreover, this paper presents the operation of the driving circuit with one switch for each phase which is known as soft chopping operation. This case study is included to declare the SRM performance during this mode of operation.
