Abstract :
This paper describes the step-by-step procedure for modeling an 8/6 switched reluctance machine. Starting from establishing the geometry of the machine, a finite element modeling approach is initially developed to compute the flux linkage/current/rotor position relationship extracting proper and mutual inductances, also its torque and field distribution characteristics. Experimental tests are performed to obtain the magnetic characteristics of the machine, comparing, correcting, and discussing the results obtained with those of FEM analysis.
