Static and dynamic fault analysis of Switched Reluctance Motor

Abstract

This paper deals with static and dynamic analysis of the Switched Reluctance Motor (SRM) under fault operating conditions. The static analysis is carried out by means of Finite Element Method (FEM) to investigate static parameters of the SRM for health and some defined faults of the phases. These static parameters are used in the dynamic model of the SRM and some transients are simulated for normal condition and also for fault operation. The comparison with experimental results is presented.
