Abstract :
Measured data and simulation results for a two channel experimental switched reluctance motor (SRM) based aircraft engine starter/generator system is presented. The two channels of the system provide power to two separate and independent loads. The results presented here document the performance capability of this system from load step response to output ripple voltage. Both measured and predicted system performance is presented and compared. In addition, operating characteristics that are unique to this SRM-based system are described. Of particular interest is the interaction between the two separate channels when one channel experiences a load transient and the other does not. The source of channel interactions is described and measured data are provided. The issue of clearing load faults is also addressed. Design results for adding this capability to the experimental system are described
