| Abstract |
Reluctance motors with more than four phase windings offer improved low speed performance due to the smaller step-angles but have previously been considered uneconomic due to the large number of semiconductor switches required. A novel power converter circuit has been developed which uses switches rated at the same voltage as the motor windings but has less than two switches per phase winding. Reluctance motors with an odd number of phase windings can be connected to this power converter and such motors are shown to offer improved performance with shorter flux paths in the motor and multiple stepping modes. The design of a four kilowatt seven phase switched reluctance drive is described and test results are presented. |
