 Abstract   Several of the applications for which the switched reluctance motor (SRM) is considered a serious contender require electromagnetic models that allow dy- namic simulation of phase interaction arising from mutual coupling, winding failures, inverter failures or mechanical imperfections such as rotor eccentricity. The commonly used superposition of single-phase magnetisation data does not allow such a drive analysis. Magnetic equivalent cir- cuits have been proposed to simulate these phenomena, but great diculty is encountered when attempting to represent the airgap and rotor/stator pole-tip permeances analytically and independent of each other. This paper proposes a new method to represent the SRM accurately using a lumped parameter, magnetic equivalent circuit which overcomes the aforementioned diculties. Simula- tions under turns short-circuit faults were carried out and the results were compared with the time-stepping FEA. Various simulation results under faults were also analysed. It shows the e ects of the fault on the performance and demonstrates the feasibility of the new approach.
