Description
Summary:This paper presents a finite element method (FEM) analysis of a commercially available switched reluctance motor (SRM) supplied from its associated power electronic drive. The instantaneous current and torque waveforms are computed using the results of the FEM analysis with the numerical solution of the nonlinear differential equations describing the drive. The effects of different machine parameters, speeds, applied voltages and stator winding voltage switching on and off instants are given. Experimental results compare very well with the results calculated by the method of analysis presented in the paper.
