Design and analysis of a novel 2-phase 4/5 Switched Reluctance Motor(SRM) is presented. The proposed motor employs a novel stator pole configuration. A novel SRM employs four-rotor and five-stator poles. The motor has no dead-zone and can be operate at any rotor position. The structure and operating principle are also described. The comparison between the proposed motor and a conventional two-phase 4/2 SRM is undertaken in this analysis. Furthermore, the Finite Element Analysis(FEA) and matlab-simulink are used to predict and simulate the performance of a proposed motor. The results of investigation indicate that the proposed structure offers a better performance in term of torque production.

In this paper, 4-phase switched reluctance motor(SRM) with 8-stator and 6-rotor pole structure is proposed for a high speed fan with a low voltage. The air blower has unidirectional rotation characteristics and requires a low torque ripple and noise as well as high efficiency. To achieve the requirements, voltage and current according to loading condition of limited specification is considered. Design process is to select the bore diameter, pole arc, york of stator and rotor to get a high torque and efficiency. To verify the validity of the proposed structure, finite element method(FEM) is employed to get the performances. And the converter for the proposed SRM is employed a 1.5q power converter for cost effectiveness. Prototype SRM is manufactured and tested, and the test results show this design is within the specification and good for the air blower applications.

SRM 토크는 인덕턴스 프로파일과 전류에 의해 발생한다. 발생한 SRM 토크는 전류제어시 turn-off 각을 제어함으로써 최대화 할 수 있고, 본 논문에서는 최소자승법을 이용하여 구한 함수를 통해 Turn-off 각을 제어할 수 있는 방안을 제안하였다. 시뮬레이션은 3상 6/4극 SRM을 대상으로 하였고, 제안한 방법에 의해 최대 평균토크가 됨을 시뮬레이션을 통해 증명하였다.

This paper presents a design of a 2-phase segmental stator type 4/3 switched reluctance motor (SRM) for air-blower application. The air-blower requires only one direction rotation, high rotor speed without torque dead-zone. In order to satisfy the requirements of the load, the rotor of the 4/3 proposed SRM is designed with wider rotor pole arc and non-uniform air-gap is applied on the rotor shape. With a special rotor structure, the motor generates a wider positive torque region and has no torque dead-zone. The stator of the proposed SRM is constructed with two segmental C-cores, and there are no magnetic connections between 2 C-cores. The flux follows in a short closed loop in each C-core and has no reversal flux in the stator. The static and dynamic characteristics of the proposed motor are analyzed by the finite element method (FEA) and Matlab-Simulink, respectively. In order to verify the design, a prototype of the proposed motor has manufactured for laboratory test. The performance of the proposed motor is verified by the simulation and experimental results.

The current study presents the design and performance of a novel 4/2 switched reluctance motor (SRM) for a high-speed air blower. With a comparative study of some rotor structures for a high-speed drive, a stepper-type rotor is optimized to produce a continuous torque and a low torque ripple. Rotor pole arc is modified to have a wide continuous output torque region, and air gap is determined to develop less torque ripple. The rotor radius is determined to reduce torque ripple with a reiterative FEM analysis. The designed rotor has three regions: short uniform, long uniform, and nonuniform air-gap region. The positive torque region is wider than a conventional 4/2 SRM without any torque dead zone. A prototype is tested and the efficiency is up to 72[%] at 30,000[rpm], 600[w] output.

In this paper, a novel single-phase hybrid switched reluctance motor (HSRM) is proposed for hammer breaker application. The hammer breaker requires only unidirectional rotation and high-speed operation. To satisfy the requirements and eliminate torque dead-zone, the rotor of the proposed 4/4 poles SRM is designed with wider pole arc and non-uniform air-gap. This motor has a simple structure and produces low torque ripple. Permanent magnets (PMs) are mounted on the inner stator at a certain position which enables it to park the rotor for self-start and create positive cogging torque in the torque dead-zone. Compared with conventional single-phase switched reluctance motor, HSRM has an increased torque density and relatively low torque ripple. To verify effectiveness, finite element method (FEM) is employed to analyze the performance of the proposed structure. Then, the proposed motor is compared with the existing motor drive system for the same application. The proposed HSRM is easy to manufacture along with competitive performance.

This paper deals with the design and analysis of a 2-phase Switched Reluctance Motor (SRM) used for the cooling fan motor of a refrigerator. To reduce the dead zone and improve the efficiency, the snail-earn type rotor pole and the asymmetric stator pole are investigated. For the optimal shape design, the performances of each model are obtained from numerical calculation results by 2D time-stepping finite element method (FEM) coupled with circuit equations. The accuracy of analysis is verified by comparing the analysis results with experimental data. According to the investigation results, improved shapes of stator and rotor poles are proposed.

Considering the start-up and economical efficiency, the optical sensor technique using a slotted-disk and an opto-interrupter are appropriate, however, this method needs three opto-interrupters and a slotted-disk when driving the 6/4 pole SRM(switched reluctance motor). In this paper, we propose an economic method by replacing the conventional opto-interrupter and slotted-disk with only optical sensor which enables the motor to start up and forward and reverse operation. Also the control circuit includes only analog devices, which makes the process more economical.
