Switched Reluctance Machine
Design and Analysis of a Switched Reluctance Motor
Using MagNet, various design and analysis aspects of a SRM are considered. Using an 8/6 SRM (shown here) as an example, results that are integral to the design and analysis of any SRM. The results presented here are for such a machine operating at 1500 RPM. Some other specifications of this motor are; rated current and voltage: 7 A, 300 V.

SRM Design Optimization using OptiNet
The example presented here demonstrates how OptiNet searches for the improved design of a 8/6 SRM to maximize the torque generated while conforming to manufacturing and operating constraints.

Analyzing a switched reluctance motor using a motion solver and a circuit simulator
This application analyses a simple switched reluctance motor using two different methods: the MagNet Transient 2D with Motion solver, and a circuit simulator with the System Model Generator. The device is set up so that the coils are switched depending on the position of the rotor. The analysis starts with the rotor stationary and at 10 degrees from the aligned position. A voltage source is switched on at t=0.01 seconds, the rotor gradually accelerates, with the applied voltage switched between the coils every 30 degrees of rotor rotation.
