Abstract :
This paper describes a method to obtain the magnetic characteristics of an 8/6 switched reluctance machine (SRM). Finite element method (FEM) using ANSYS 10.0 software is used for the purpose. Machine model is created by Pro-Engineer software for the ANSYS environment. To model the machine using FEM, the geometry and mechanical parameters of the machine are established. Then the model is developed to obtain the flux linkage, current and rotor position relationship, and inductance is computed. Further, this inductance was verified experimentally and found in agreement with each other.
