Analiza wpływu grubości szczeliny powietrznej na charakterystyki statyczne silnika reluktancyjnego przełączalnego

In the article we discuss the influence of an air-gap thickness on the switched reluctance motor with 6/4 configuration static characteristics. This motor has been designed for household equipment purpose and it is characterized by non-symmetrical construction of magnetic circuit. In the work we present field computation results of motor magnetic circuit for particular changes of air-gap thickness range for two different (because of non-symmetrical construction) motor phases. There is also presented the dependence of mean value of motor torque versus current on air-gap thickness changes for two different phases. We present laboratory research results of windings self-inductances profiles estimation versus rotor angle for few cases of motor air-gap thickness.
