Prediction of Vibrations in Two Phase Conventional and Flux Reversal Free Stator Switched Reluctance Motors

Abstract

This research article elaborates the prediction of vibration in Two Phase Switched Reluctance motor (TPSRM) with different configurations such as 4/2 and 6/3. The foremost limitation in Switched Reluctance Motor is Vibrations in machines due to Electromagnetic Forces and Flux Reversal in stator. The Flux Reversal is eliminated in 6/3 with an adoptive winding configuration. Finite Element Analysis (FEA) Packages predict vibrations in Modal and Harmonic Method to obtain the natural frequencies and amplitude of vibrations respectively. Finite Element (FE) Magnetic Field Analysis applied to the FE Model of SRM predicts the Electromagnetic forces. The Simulation results compares with numerical predictions.
