Abstract :
This paper presents the design procedures used for switched reluctance motors in automobile applications. In the process, an empirical method, a finite element method and an analytical method have been applied. The empirical formulae, as established by design experts, yield a preliminary design. The finite element method accomplishes design fine-tuning and validation. The analytical model, as established by the generalized electrical machine theory, enables a study of converter control and dynamic performance
