The investigation of the influence of the number of phases of switched reluctance generator (SRG) to the pulse of electromagnetic torque was carried out. The computer model was created. The amplitude of torque ripples reduces to 6 times with increasing of the ripple frequency to 5 times, that is more acceptable in terms of requirements.
Keyword:Computer Electrical machines used on vehicles operate in severe conditions. During operation they are affected by significant dynamic forces resulting from vibration and shock particularly at high running speeds. It can cause to various failures: wires and winding connection disruption, cracking and insulating materials damage. For this reason when choosing electrical machines design there is a tendency to use simple and reliable technical solutions.From this point of view the main advantage of SRM is the design simplicity. The rotor is passive without winding and the stator is equipped with winding consisting of centered type coils. In comparison with other types of electrical machines, SRM is more sophisticated, has less specific consumption of cooper and insulating materials. In case of SRM application on the vehicles, it will allow to improve the reliability of energy supply system, to achieve better energy and weight-size parameters, to reduce the cost and operation expenses. The disadvantages of SRM are considerable electromagnetic torque ripple and higher noise level.
