Q1) Explain various Sources of noise in SRM (switched reluctance motor)

Ans: There are several sources of noise in switched reluctance motors (SRMs), including:

1. Magnetic noise: This is caused by the interaction of the stator and rotor magnetic fields.
The rapidly changing magnetic fields in the motor can produce audible noise.

2. Mechanical noise: This is caused by the physical movement of the rotor and stator. As the
rotor moves, it can create vibrations that produce noise.

3. Electrical noise: This is caused by electrical disturbances in the motor, such as voltage
spikes, electromagnetic interference, or switching transients.

4. Acoustic noise: This is generated by the interaction of the motor and the surrounding air.
The noise can be affected by the motor's operating speed, load, and the design of the motor.

5. Resonance noise: This is caused by the natural frequency of the motor or its components.
When the motor operates at or near its natural frequency, it can produce excessive noise.

To reduce the noise in SRMs, designers can use various techniques, such as optimizing the
motor design to reduce resonance, using noise-reducing materials, or implementing control
algorithms that minimize voltage spikes and electromagnetic interference.

Q2) Explain various noise reduction techniques in SRM?

There are several noise reduction techniques that can be used in switched reluctance
motors (SRMs), including:

Ans: 1. Magnetic field optimization: By optimizing the magnetic field distribution in the motor,
designers can reduce the interaction between the rotor and stator magnetic fields, which can
reduce magnetic noise.

2. Vibration damping: By using vibration damping materials in the rotor or stator, designers
can reduce the mechanical noise generated by the motor. This can include using materials
such as rubber or foam to absorb vibrations.

3. Electrical filtering: By using electrical filters or shielding to reduce electromagnetic


interference, designers can reduce electrical noise in the motor. This can include using filters
on the power supply or adding shielding to the motor components.

4. Control algorithms: By implementing control algorithms that minimize voltage spikes and
reduce switching transients, designers can reduce electrical noise in the motor. This can
include using advanced control techniques such as pulse width modulation (PWM) or space
vector modulation (SVM).
5. Optimal rotor design: By optimizing the rotor design to reduce resonance, designers can
reduce the resonance noise generated by the motor. This can include using techniques such
as finite element analysis (FEA) to identify and mitigate resonance points.

6. Acoustic insulation: By using acoustic insulation materials around the motor, designers
can reduce the amount of acoustic noise that is emitted from the motor. This can include
using materials such as foam or fiberglass insulation to absorb sound waves.

Overall, the most effective noise reduction technique will depend on the specific motor
design and the noise sources that are present. A combination of these techniques may be
necessary to achieve the desired noise reduction in a switched reluctance motor.
