Abstract :
Axial field configurations are attractive for applications where the overall length of the motor has to be short-for example, in automotive and fan applications. With that in view, a systematic derivation of a design procedure for axial field switched reluctance motors is presented. The design procedure is based on the classical machine design equations applicable to all other machines. The effects of various diameters, number of turns per phase, axial length, and pole arc on power output are quantified and discussed. Inductance calculations are given. Experimental verification of the theoretically predicted machine inductance is achieved with a 1-hp laboratory prototype.<>
