Abstract

In this paper, a parametric simulation electromagnetic model for switched reluctance motor (SRM) has been developed using finite element method (FEM), which can be applied properly in optimal design of this motor. In the developed simulation model, the major characteristics of SRM, such as static torque and instantaneous phase current, have been predicted. In addition, an algorithm of core loss calculation for SRM was introduced in this simulation model, which includes more aspects of SRM in comparison with other available core loss models. Some experimental results are presented for evaluation of the developed simulation model
