Abstract

This paper is to study the effects of voltage variation, advancing the switching ON angle, Early switching OFF angle, and Freewheeling resistance on the average characteristics of switched reluctance motor over a wide range of speeds from starting to high speed. The mathematical equations necessary to calculate the average motor performance are developed. The experimental machine in this paper is composed of stator, which is 36 slots, divided into six cylindrical poles. The rotor has two salient poles without any winding.
