Abstract

In this paper, the dynamic performance of four pole/phase switched reluctance
motor (4PSRM) is investigated analytically and experimentally. Different
dynamic conditions are considered which include motor starting under load,
step change in load, load perturbation, and a step change in the supply voltage.
A laboratory prototype of 4PSRM has been designed and built. An asymmetric
power converter along with the drive circuit has been designed and built to
excite the motor. A mathematical model of the dynamic operation has been
developed and numerically simulated. Both the measured and calculated results
are found to be in good correlation.
