SRM is designed to meet operating standards such as low cost, simple magnetic structure, a desired operating speed range, high efficiency, high performance, and good matching for DC power. The magnetic flux of SRM is independent of its direction to develop a torque and it allows the flexible characteristics of the magnetic structure for SRM. In this paper, SRM can widely classify two types, Radial-Flux SRM and Axial-Flux SRM, according to the flux direction. Radial-Flux SRM includes Conventional, Segmented stator and rotor, and Double stator SRM, etc. and Axial-Flux SRM includes C-core stator and the Axial-airgap SRM. This paper is subjected the basic characteristics to select the best of the magnetic structure of SRM in the appropriate application by the classification of SRM.

This study presents a novel two­phase eight stator poles and six rotor poles (8/6) switched reluctance machine (SRM) that can compensate for the vibration and noise problems of two­phase 6/3 SRM and compare the characteristics of two SRMs. In the case of two­phase 6/3 SRM, the short flux path and the flux direction inside the stator are not reversed, so they have high efficiency characteristics. However, the use of three rotor poles causes problems of vibration and noise because the radial force applied to the rotor poles is not balance. The proposed two­phase 8/6 SRM has advantages of 6/3 SRM such as the flux­reversal­free stator and it can improve vibration and noise by using six rotor poles due to balanced radial force acting on the rotor poles. In order to make a reasonable comparison between two SRMs, the electromagnetic field structure of 8/6 SRM is designed to have equivalent torque characteristic to 6/3 SRM and then the copper loss and core loss are compared and analyzed. Finally, we compare the effieicney of two SRMs using finite element analysis and compare the distribution of radial force acting on the rotor poles based on Maxwell's stress method.

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.

Because salient pole rotor type single phase SRM(Switched Reluctance Motor) has a simple structure and can be use both radial and axial direction magnetic flux at the same time, its output power per unit volume is high. Therefore, the shaft length can be minimized when compared with same output motors. However, salient pole rotor is hard to design due to its complex magnetic circuit. In this paper, salient pole rotor type single phase SRM with minimized shaft length is designed and selected the most suitable dimension of rotor, stator, pole arc and salient pole.

Salient pole rotor type single phase SRM(switched reluctance motor) can be use axial direction magnetic flux and radial direction magnetic flux at the same time. Then, it has higher energy density per unit volume and can be lessened the shaft length of motor or exciting magnetic force. Additionally, it's durability is good because it is simple structure and driving device. Prototype of Salient pole rotor type single phase SRM was fabricated by using parameters of three phase SRM and 3D FEM analysis. Also, driving device was fabricated for prototype. Speed and torque characteristic was confirmed through the experiments, and flux linkage, which is important parameter of SRM for generating torque, was measured. The induction emf was calculated by using ideal inductance graph and current graph. Calculated emf and measured emf was compared for confirming loss of prototype in this paper.

Disk type single-phase switched reluctance motor which has an advantage of simple robust construction, simple control circuity, and low manufacturing cost has a specific property of axial flux machine and radial flux machine simultaneously. So, this DSPSRM has a complicated magnetic circuit and it is difficult to analyze characteristics of DSPSRM for design. In this paper, we used to analyze the effects of radial flux and axial flux simultaneously by 3D-finite element method. From the results of 3-D FEM, we obtained the approximated torque characteristics of DSPSRM. It's analysis results can be used in optimal design of DSPSRM considering the saturation.

Disk type single phase SRM (DSPSRM) has a specific property of axial flux machine and radial flux machine simultaneously. So, this DSPSRM has a complicated magnetic circuit and it is difficult to analyze characteristics.

In this paper, a novel Bearingless Switched Reluctance Motor(BLSRM) with the shoe rotor pole in order to minimize the torque ripple and the suspension force ripple at an overlap position is proposed. For reduction the torque ripple and the suspension force ripple at an overlap position, the fringing flux is used for the main flux. This configuration of the rotor pole results in more average torque with high suspension force. In addition, this paper is compared the transient characteristics using the inductance look-up table. The torque, radial force and flux density are analyzed by finite element method.
