A Novel Skewed Linear Switched Reluctance Motor – Analysis and Design

Article Preview

Abstract:

High starting force with reduced volume and mass are the primary importance in most of the linear transportation applications. This paper presents a novel tilted Linear Switched Reluctance Motor (LSRM) with reduced mass, volume, force ripple and improved force profile. Three Dimensional (3-D) finite element analyses are carried out on the proposed design to estimate the performance the motor. A thorough comparison has been made between the basic and the proposed structures. Experimental results reveal that, the proposed design is well suited for high starting force applications.
