Magnetic Field Calculation of Switched Reluctance Machines Using an Improved Conformal Mapping Method

Abstract

This paper presents an accurate 6/4 switched reluctance machine (SRM) model based on an improved conformal mapping (CM) method. Subdomain method is used to solve the vector magnetic potential of the transformed simple region, and electromagnetic torque is calculated. The developed method is verified by comparing its results with those obtained from the finite element method (FEM).
