A reluctance motor is a type of electric motor that induces non-permanent magnetic poles on the ferromagnetic rotor. The rotor does not have any windings. It generates torque through magnetic reluctance. Reluctance motor subtypes include synchronous, variable, switched and variable stepping. Reluctance motors can deliver high power density at ...
The switched reluctance motor (SRM) is a type of reluctance motor. Unlike brushed DC motors, power is delivered to windings in the stator (case) rather than the rotor. This simplifies mechanical design because power does not have to be delivered to the moving rotor, which eliminates the need for a commutator.
A permanent magnet synchronous motor and reluctance motor requires a control system for operating (VFD or servo drive). There is a large number of control methods for synchronous machines, selected depending on the construction of the electric motor and the scope. Control methods can be divided into: [21] [22] Scalar control. V/f control ...
Free-body diagram of a U-channel synchronous linear motor. The view is perpendicular to the channel axis. The two coils at centre are mechanically connected, and are energized in "quadrature" (meaning a phase difference of 90° (π/2 radians) between the flux of the magnets and the flux of the coils). The bottom and upper coils in this ...
Direct torque control. Direct torque control (DTC) is one method used in variable-frequency drives to control the torque (and thus finally the speed) of three-phase AC electric motors. This involves calculating an estimate of the motor's magnetic flux and torque based on the measured voltage and current of the motor.
The shaded-pole motor is the original type of AC single-phase motor, dating back to at least as early as 1890. [1] A shaded-pole motor is a motor, in which the auxiliary winding is composed of a copper ring or bar surrounding a portion of each pole to produce a weakly rotating magnetic field. [2] When single phase AC supply is applied to the ...
The first switched reluctance motor was invented all in 1838 by W. H. Taylor in the United States [5] and was initially designed to propel locomotives. Then, in the 1920s, the synchronous reluctance motor was invented. These use a specially designed cageless rotor, eliminating rotor losses, with a magnetic field being generated inside the motor ...
Squirrel-cage rotor. A squirrel-cage rotor is the rotating part of the common squirrel-cage induction motor. It consists of a cylinder of steel laminations, with aluminum or copper conductors embedded in its surface. In operation, the non-rotating stator winding is connected to an alternating current power source; the alternating current in the ...
