Study Notes
Switched Reluctance Motor (SRM) Overview
- SRM features stator windings powered by DC voltage, with no windings or magnets on the rotor.
- Rotor must be salient, exhibiting a different number of poles (Pr) compared to the stator poles (Ps).
- Combinations of poles may include configurations such as 12/10, 12/8, 8/6, and 6/4.
- The ratio of stator poles (Ps) to rotor poles (Pr) must be a non-integer, e.g., 10/8, 8/6, or 6/4.
Operational Theory
- In the magnetic circuit, the rotor rotates towards the minimum reluctance position when excited.
- When two rotor poles align with two stator poles, the other rotor poles are misaligned with the remaining stator poles.
- The excitation of the aligned stator poles prompts rotation of the rotor to a new alignment position.
- Stator windings are energized from a DC supply based on the rotor's position, reflecting the variation of reluctance.
- The machine's operation is centered around the principle of switched reluctance.
Direction of Rotation
- The rotor's direction of rotation is opposite to the sequence of the stator excitation.
- For instance, if phase B is energized, the rotor rotates in a clockwise (CW) direction.
