Abstract

Magnetization characteristics play an important role in design, implementation and performance for switched reluctance motors SRMs. The first objective in modelling of SRM is to provide a good accuracy and robust operation over the entire speed and torque range. This paper introduces physical phenomenon that need to be included in actual model of the SRM drive. The introduced methodology is applied on SRM that may be used in aerospace, military, and medical applications for measurement of flux linkage and inductance characteristics. Experimental results are well accurate for modelling and performance analysis of implemented SRM. The cost is lowered in measurement of flux linkage, and inductance characteristic, where the experimental instruments used in this method are common, and the test bench is easy to build, as the SRM has been built. The test indicates the measuring process is simple to implement, and the results are satisfactory, and accurate.
