A new excitation method of switched reluctance motor drive is described in this paper. This excitation method produces reluctance torque by mutual action between two phases as well as conventional self reluctance torque due to two phase excitation at a time. In other words, the change of self inductance and mutual inductance are used to produce torque. This paper suggests the operational principle, the mechanism of torque product of switched reluctance motor with two phase excitation. The acoustic noise characteristics of two phase excitation method are described against that of conventional excitation method.

switched reluctance motors and drives are increasingly used in industrial applications due to their robust mechanical structure, low inertia and reduction in the rotor losses. As the motor speed increase turn on angle must be advanced to build up phase current. When C-dump converter is applied to switched reluctance motor, the capacitance of dump C has to have proper value. In this paper advance angle for a switched reluctance motor and capacitance of dump C are investigated. Then proper advance angle and the capacitance of dump-C are propose for the industrial low voltage SR motor.

The simple motor construction and low cost, fault tolerant power electronic drive has made the switched reluctance drive a strong contender for many applications. But the switched reluctance drive does exhibit higher levels of vibration and acoustic noise than that of most competing drives. The main source of vibration in the switched reluctance drive is generated by rapid change of radial magnetic force when phase current is extinguished during commutation action. In this paper, a hybrid excitation method is proposed to reduce vibration and acoustic noise of the switched reluctance drive. The hybrid excitation has 2-phase excitation by long dwell angle as well as conventional 1-phase excitation. The vibration and acoustic noise are reduced because the scheme reduces abrupt change of excitation level by distributed and balanced excitation.

The construction of a Synchronous Reluctance Motor (SynRM) is simple and also highly economical because a stator from the existing AC motor can be used. Since the synchronous inductance in the Synchronous Reluctance Motor is an element that is proportional to torque, its exact value must be experimentally or analytically found for accurate control and performance development of the motor. In this paper, direct torque control (DTC) simulation is carried out to maximize the torque of the Synchronous Reluctance Motor and the fast response characteristics with the inductance value by the Finite Element Method (FEM). The response characteristics are compared through the proposed direct torque control and torque response characteristics that are based on the existing PI Control in order to confirm the fast response features. To test the performance of the direct torque controller, the torque response is analyzed with variable speed and load condition.

Reluctance torque is generated by the rotor of the rugged construction in Synchronous Reluctance Motor. Its construction is simple, and it is very economic because a rotor in existed AC motor can be used. As the Synchronous inductance in Synchronous Reluctance Motor is an element that is proportional to torque, the exact value must be experimentally or analytically found for controlling and the performance development of motors. In this paper, direct torque control simulation to maximize the torque of the Synchronous Reluctance Motor and fast response characteristics was carried out with the inductance value by the Finite Element Method. For the simulation results, there are torques and fluxs response characteristics when controlling speed.

This paper deals with optimum design criteria to minimize the torque ripple of a concentrated winding Synchronous Reluctance Motor(SynRM) using Response Surface Methodology(RSM). The feasibility of using RSM with the finite element method(FEM) in practical engineering problem is investigated with omputational examples and comparison between the fitted response and the results obtained from an analytical solution according to the design variables of stator and rotor in concentrated winding SynRM(6slot). The focus of this paper is the efficiency evaluation on the basis of load condition in a Concentrated Winding Synchronous Reluctance Motor and distributed Winding Synchronous Reluctance Motor.

Switched Reluctance Motors(SRMs) have a considerable inherent torque ripple due to the driving characteristics of pulse current waveform and the nonlinear variation inductance profile. This paper describes a current shape characteristics to effect a torque ripple reduction, and one pulse mode switching control method is proposed to minimize torque ripple of a switched reluctance motor regardless of speed and load condition by regulating tow parameters, such as, advance angle and exciting voltage. The experiments are performed to verify the capability of proposed switching method on 6/4 salient type SRM.

In designing reluctance motor, it is important to know the flux distribution of the inside of the motor. The reluctance motor which has axially laminated anisotropic(a.l.a.) rotor was proved to have high efficiency. To analyze this motor, it needs to consider the anisotropic characteristic of the rotor. This paper shows the flux distribution of the a.l.a. reluctance motor by finite element method (FEM) considering the anisotropic characteristic and the saturation of the core. And this paper shows the static torque for the variation of the stator dimension. This will be helpful to design the a.l.a. switched reluctance motor.

This paper presents the novel design and implementation of a switched reluctance motor with commutator. Unlike typical switched reluctance motor, this motor doesn't require semi-conductor devices and inverter circuits for driving. Instead, the brushes and commutator can make rotating field for driving the switched reluctance motor. Moreover, because this motor has no magnet, the total cost for manufacturing the motor is very cheap. In order to verify the usability of the proposed motor, the authors manufactured the prototype motor, and showed the torque-speed curve of the motor.
