| Abstract |
In this paper, 4-phase switched reluctance motor(SRM) with 8-stator and 6-rotor pole structure is proposed for a high speed fan with a low voltage. The air blower has unidirectional rotation characteristics and requires a low torque ripple and noise as well as high efficiency. To achieve the requirements, voltage and current according to loading condition of limited specification is considered. Design process is to select the bore diameter, pole arc, york of stator and rotor to get a high torque and efficiency. To verify the validity of the proposed structure, finite element method(FEM) is employed to get the performances. And the converter for the proposed SRM is employed a 1.5q power converter for cost effectiveness. Prototype SRM is manufactured and tested, and the test results show this design is within the specification and good for the air blower applications. |
