Magnetic Characteristics Model for an 8/6 Switched Reluctance Machine: Analytical Function Approach from Experimental Tests

This paper presents an analytical function approach to determine the flux-linkage characteristics for an 8/6 switched reluctance motor. The design of the proposed model is based on experimental magnetization curves. In order to achieve less expense and time, regarding the simulation and implementation proposes, the model curves are calculated from main parameters normally available or easily measured. Simulation is used to evaluate the model operation. The developed model was experimentally verified and results are presented in this paper.
