Analysis of Linear Switched Reluctance Motor having gashed pole

Abstract

In this paper, the results of a finite element analysis are carried out on new stator geometry of a four phase Linear Switched Reluctance Motor (LSRM). In the new geometry, stator pole faces are gashed. LSRM performance for variable load conditions is discussed. The two dimensional (2-D) finite element analysis (FEA) results, have demonstrated validity of the proposed new design.
