| Abstract | ||
| Switched reluctance motor is one of the most recently developed electrical motors which is characterized by its simplicity, ruggedness and flexibility of its operating characteristics. In spite ofthese it suffers from torque pulsations and the lack of a standard power electronic converter due to its uni-polar current excitation pulses. This paper introduces an alternative variable reluctance motor with filly-pitched winding and bipolar excitation which can be supplied by a standard power electronic switch module and has a ripple-free torque. Throughout the present work a mathematical model for the proposed motor type is developed and investigated by computer simulation. The operating characteristics for this type are presented along with those of the conventional switched reluctance motor, which emphasis the better performance ofthe proposed motor type. | ||
