Mechatronic Modules of Traction Electrical Drive

The article shows that a contactless electric drive with a field regulated reluctance machine can be successfully applied to realize the movement of the traction mechanisms. The proposed electric drive is simplicity of the design of the electric machine, its high manufacturability, high mechanical strength and rigidity of the rotor, and the absence of windings on the rotor. A feature of the proposed solution is that, due to the mutual orthogonal spatial arrangement of the stator windings of each phase, when the turns of one of the series-connected windings are opposite the interpolar gap and thus create a magnetic flux directed along the magnetic axis of the rotor, the turns of the second winding of this phase are above the pole , interact with the flow of excitation of the first winding, creating an electromagnetic torque of the electric machine. The presented diagrams of variables of the electric drive confirm the possibility of realization of all operating modes of the traction electric drive.
