The document discusses various types of special electrical machines, including switched reluctance motors and permanent magnet brushless DC motors. [1] Switched reluctance motors require rotor position sensors to control commutation and feedback speed, and have advantages like simple construction, no rotor windings or slip rings, and simpler power electronics. [2] Power controllers for switched reluctance motors include two or more power devices per phase. [3] Permanent magnet brushless DC motors are electronically commutated versus conventional DC motors which use a mechanical commutator.

SPECIAL ELECTRICAL MACHINES

CIAT II – Question Bank

PART-A

1. Why rotor position sensor is essential for the operation of switched reluctance
motor?
In switched reluctance motor rotor position is necessary for commutation and speed
feedback. The turning ON and OFF operation of the various devices of power semiconductor
switching circuit are influenced by signals obtained from rotor position sensor.

2. List the advantages of switched reluctance motor.


1. Construction is simple and robust.
2. There is no permanent magnet.
3. Rotor carries no windings, no slip rings, no brushes, less maintenance
4. Power semiconductor switching circuitry is simpler.

3. What are the types of power controllers used for SRM?

1. Using two power semiconductors and two diodes per phase.

2. (n+1) power switching devices and (n+1) diodes per phase.

3. Phase windings using bifilar wires.

4. Dump –C-converter.

5. Split power supply converter.

4. Draw the speed - torque characteristics of switched reluctance motor.


5. List the disadvantages of a switched reluctance motor.
1. Stator phase winding should be capable of carrying magnetizing current.
2. For high speed operation developed torque has undesirable ripples is a result develops
undesirable noises or acoustic noises.
3. It requires position sensors.

6. List the various permanent magnet materials.


 Alnico
 Rare earth magnet.
 Ceramic magnet.
 NdFeB magnet.

7. What are the relative merits of the brushless DC motor drives?


1. Regenerative braking is possible.
2. Speed can be easily controllable.
3. It is possible to have very high speeds.
4. There is no field winding so that field copper loss is neglected.

8. Compare conventional DC motor and PMBLDC motor.

A brushed DC motor uses a configuration of wound wire coils, the armature, acting as a


two-pole electromagnet. The commutator then reverses the polarity of the armature's
electromagnet as its poles cross the permanent magnets' poles. A brushless motor, by contrast,
utilizes a permanent magnet as its external rotor.

9. Why the PMBL DC motor is called electronically commutated motor?

The phase windings of PMBL DC motor is energized by using power semiconductor


switching circuits. Here, the power semiconductor switching circuits act as a commutator. So,
the permanent magnet brushless DC motor is called as electronically commutated motor.

10. What is permanent magnet DC commutator motor?

A DC motor consists of permanent magnet in the stator and armature winding, commutator
in the rotor. This motor is called permanent magnet DC commutator motor.
