Sensitivity of pole arc/pole pitch ratio on switched reluctance motor performance

The sensitivity of the pole-arc/pole-pitch ratio of the stator and rotor on the performance of a switched reluctance motor is investigated. An analytical method based on magnetic flux path and a two-dimensional finite-element analysis are used. The sensitivity study is performed by comparing the average torque developed for different stator as well as rotor pole-arc/pole-pitch ratios and choosing the ratio combination that produces the greatest value of average torque.<
