Analysis and Torque Optimisation of Switched Reluctance Motor

Abstract — This paper shows the developed torque of a 4 phase 8/6 poles switched reluctance motor by simulation tests. The analysis for the torque is computed by finite element method. The torque optimisation is investigated by changing the pole arc/pole pitch ratio (γ) of the stator, rotor and yoke dimensions. Index Terms — Reluctance motors, Simulation I
