One-phase versus two- phase-on driving comparison of 8/6 Switched Reluctance Motor using finite element method analysis

Following a comparison to one-phase and two-phase-on, this paper brings contributions to the analysis of an 8/6 Switched Reluctance Motor (SRM). It is a common variable-reluctance motor with and internal salient 6-pole rotor, which has no conductors or magnets, and an external 8-pole stator with concentrated coils, which allows earlier winding and shorter end turns than other types of motors. Two different commutation strategies, one-phase and two-phase-on methods are discussed. The Transient Magnetic application allows the study of the phenomena created by a time variable magnetic field. In order to improve the existing model, an electrical circuit for one phase and two phase of the SRM was implemented.
