The main issue of the switched reluctance motor (SRM) is its noise and vibration caused by high torque ripples on rotor’s shaft. Many methods have been developed for improving characteristic SRM. For example, design optimization one promising approaches to reduction Particularly, topology (TO) stator rotor can be highly beneficial addressing ripple issue. However, TO SRM appears computationally...

The paper presents a state of the art review on the subject of torque ripple, vibrations, and acoustic noise in Switched Reluctance Motors (SRM). The approach of the multi-phase operation of SRM is also reviewed. Moreover, further directions of research on these subjects are introduced.

Switched Reluctance Motors (SRMs) are increasingly popular machines in electrical drives, whose performances are directly related to their operating conditions. Their dynamic characteristics vary as conditions change. Recently, several methods of the modeling of the magnetic saturation of SRMs have been proposed as analytical functions. However, the SRM system is nonlinear and cannot be adequat...

The wide application of switched reluctance motors (SRM) is limited by their higher vibration and acoustic noise. An accurate determination of resonant frequencies and mode shapes of the SRM stator is therefore essential for low acoustic noise design. Based on the structural finite element method and elasticity theory, 3D vibration modes and resonant frequencies of a 5 hp SRM with 8/6 poles are...

The switched reluctance motor (SRM) has inherently high level of fault tolerance. However despite of its high robustness and reliability it can face windings and bearings faults. The faults can cause costly downtimes in industrial environment, or they can bring about more severe consequences in safety critical applications. Therefore the detection of the faults in their incipient phase and the ...
