They can be more efficient than induction motors and work at variable speeds. They are also inherently simple. For a time, they powered Maytag Neptune washing machines. Switched-reluctance (SR) motors ...
This Application Note describes the design of a sensorless 3-Phase Switched Reluctance (SR) motor drive based on Freescale’s 56F80x / 56F8300 dedicated motor control devices. SR motors are gaining ...
Bearingless switched reluctance motors (BSRMs) represent a significant advancement in motor technology, integrating the functions of mechanical support and rotational drive within a single ...
Switched reluctance motors used to be a favorite topic among Ph.D. candidates doing thesis work in electric motors. The reason was pragmatic and had little to do with the promise of SR technology: It ...
DYSPROSIUM and neodymium are not exactly the best-known elements in the periodic table, but for makers of high-end electric motors they have become vital. Both are strongly magnetic and thus crucial ...
Continuing headlines about superefficient electric drives might lead some observers to wonder about the future of three-phase induction motors. The truth is that induction motors aren’t going away any ...
