    The switched reluctance machine (SRM) is a type of electric motor where torque is produced by the tendency of its rotor to align its poles with excited stator poles. It has salient poles on both the rotor and stator. Torque is created by exciting diametrically opposite stator poles when rotor poles are nearby. The rotor is simple and requires few manufacturing steps, while the stator is also simple to wind. Torque ripple and acoustic noise are disadvantages of the SRM.

    SWITCHED RELUCTANCE MACHINE
     A reluctance machine is one in which torque is produced by the tendency
    of its movable part to move to a position where the inductance of the
    excited winding is maximized.

     SRM - salient poles on both the rotor and stator.

     Excitation is provided to a concentrated winding on each stator pole

     The excitation of diametrically opposite stator poles when the rotor poles
    are nearby, creates a torque tending to align the stator and rotor poles.

     The synchronization of the turn on of the excitation with rotor position can
    be accomplished with simple rotor position feed back.

     The inductance L reaches maximum of L max at aligned position and a


    minimum of L min at unaligned position.
    ADVANTAGES OF SRM:

    The rotor is simple and requires relatively few manufacturing steps,


    it also tends to have a low inertia.

    The stator is simple to wind, the end-turns are short and robust and
    have no phase-phase crossovers.

    In most applications the bulk of the losses appear on the stator, which is
    relatively easy to cool.

    The torque is independent of the polarity of phase current, for certain


    applications this permits a reduction in the number of power
    semiconductor
    switches needed in the controller.

    Most converter circuits used with SR motors are immune from


    shoot- through faults, unlike the inverters used with a.c. and brushless d.c.
    drives.
    Extremely high speeds are possible.
    The torque/speed characteristic can be 'tailored' to the application

    SRM & Stepper Motor

    SRM-Conduction angle for Phase Currents is controlled and


    synchronized with the rotor position.

    SRM CHARACTERISTICS
    The flux-current characteristics in the unaligned position is
    approximately linear because the magnetic path is dominated
    by large air gap and flux densities are small.

    In the aligned position the air gap reluctance is small and


    flux density is high, which causes high saturation at
    higher currents.
    SRM TORQUE SPEED CHARACTERISTICS
    CONSTANT TORQUE REGION
    • Current, and hence torque, kept constant by PWM or chopping.
    • At low speeds current rises instantaneously due to small back-emf.
    • At medium speeds, phase advancing is necessary. Phase turn-off is also
    advanced so that current decays to zero before rotor passes
    alignment. PWM or chopping is still possible.
    CONSTANT POWER REGION
    • High back-emf forces current to decrease once pole overlap begins.
    • PWM or chopping no longer possible.
    • Conduction angle is increased in proportion to speed, primarily through
    phase advancing.
