Abstract

In this paper, a transient analysis method of Switched Reluctance Motors(SRM) is presented. The Finite Element Method(FEM) is used to model the nonlinear magnetic field and is coupled to the power circuits and mechanical system. The time derivative term in the differential equation is formulated by the time difference method. The proposed method is applied to a 4 phase 16/12 SRM to study starting characteristics and an fault due to the failure of a transistor in the converter.
