Abstract

The present paper explores the design, numerical analysis, control and performance of a 5 phase, 6 poles BLDC Multiphase Reluctance Machine. For this work, both machine and power electronics were designed and built. A FEA model (VF - Opera 13.1) has been developed for inductance matrix identification, mandatory for Simulink implementation of machine phase coordinates model (used for control of the BLDC-MRM). Preliminary running experiments (at steady-state operation) are shown in comparison with simulated results (analytical-Simulink and numerical-FEA), for a 4:1 speed range.
