Electric Propulsion Unit Powered by Switch Reluctance Machine SRM

The paper deals with designing and fabrication of a light weight (one man) electric vehicle prototype powered by switched reluctance machine SRM and controlled by half bridge low-voltage high-current converter. The machine will provide propulsion to drive light weight electric vehicle. The idea is to utilize the vehicle for disable persons by utilizing the methodology with advance design. The paper reveals the mechanical design specifications, control mechanism for SRM, different signals of power converter is analyzed using digital oscilloscope and discussion on the weight, speed and price/distance of prototype is given. The aim at The moment is to design, construct and perform an experimental run of a prototype in order to get a more comprehensive idea of the mechanical design and the driving circuitry.
