A Comprehensive Model of a 6/10 Switched Reluctance Motor Based on Matlab Environment

Abstract

Switched reluctance motor (SRM) has a simple, inexpensive and reliable construction due to the concentrated coils on stator pole and no conductors or magnets on the rotor pole. The advantages on the SRM operation such as high speed, high torque to inertia ratio, fault tolerant, low inertia and low inrush currents, make it a better choice for use in different applications. The dynamic behavior of the SRM on various conditions should be studied. This paper aim is to develop a Matlab model of a 6/10 SRM using the mathematic equations. As the results, the simulation shows the impact of load torque on the phase current profile, speed profile, and inductance profile. The simulation is performed the characteristics of the switched reluctance motor in Matlab environment to show the efficiency of the proposed model.
