Abstract

The single phase switched reluctance motor (SRM) has many merits; simple structure and driving circuits, easy operation and speed control, and etc. This paper presents the torque characteristics of disk type single phase SRM by changing the salient pole lengths and pole arcs. The prototype single phase SRM has a three dimensional magnetic flux pattern because of its structure. That is, the radial and axial magnetic flux contributes to torque generation. Thus, 3D analysis is required for computation of its magnetic field. In this paper, 3D FEM is used for analyzing the magnetic flux distribution and magnetic co-energy.
