Vibration Comparison of Current Superimposition Variable Flux Machine and Switched Reluctance Machine

Abstract

A current superimposition variable flux reluctance machine has been proposed. This machine requires only a single set of coils that can perform both armature and field coil functions simultaneously. The structure of the current superimposition variable flux machine is similar to a switched reluctance machine. However, the current is feedbacked, and an alternating current is used to rotate. Therefore, there is a possibility that the vibration of the current superimposition variable flux machine is smaller than that of the switched reluctance machine. In this paper, we compare the vibration of the current superimposition variable flux machine and switched reluctance machine.
