Abstract :
The principle and design of a single-phase 2/2 switched reluctance motor are presented. The motor uses saturation effects for starting. Design optimization, especially of the shape of the saturable iron part, is carried out using FEM analysis. Starting capability in every rotor position is achieved. A single-phase design offers the opportunity to design the motor for low acoustic noise and low cost.
