Title:Fundamental Wave Analysis of the Switched Permanent Magnet Reluctance MachineAuthor(s):Dietmar Andessner, Wolfgang Gruber, Wolfgang AmrheinAbstract:In this paper the driving principle of a special permanent magnet excited synchronous machine, in the following called the switched permanent magnet reluctance machine (SPM), is discussed. The SPM is a promising variant of the brushless DC motor concerning design and robustness. The mechanical construction is similar to the switched reluctance motor (SRM) whereas the driving characteristics relate to the brushless DC motor. The linear relation between torque and current results from the fact that the SPM uses permanent magnetic (PM) energy and is leading to a strong affiliation to the BLDC. Due to the fact that the fundamental frequencies of the SPMs inductances differ from the one of the BLDC a fundamental wave calculation of the torque has been done and is analyzed in this paper.Booktitle:20th International Symposium on Power Electronics, Electrical Drives, Automation and Motion, 14. - 16.06.2010, Pisa/ItalyEditor(s):SPEEDAM2010ISBN:978-1-4244-7919-1Page Reference:page 1253-1258, 6 page(s)Publishing:6/2010
