Merits of SRM Construction is simple and robust. Rotor carries no windings, no sliprings, no brushes, less maintenance. There is no permanent magnets. Ventilating system is simpler as losses takes place mostly in the stator: Power semi conductor switching circuitry is simpler No shoot through fault likely to happen power short circuits. Developed torque doesn’t

SRM is a single excited and double salient pole electric motor. It is an electromagnetic and electrodynamic equipment. Switched reluctance motor operating principle is similar to a single-stack variable-reluctance stepping motor. However, design procedures and control strategies in VRM are different from those used in a stepping motor. For example, a SRM requires a rotor

Figure shows evolution of brushless dc motor. Conventional DC Motor The first stage of evolution of DC motor is conventional type DC motor. It is an electro magnetic and electro dynamic equipment. Sator Stator is made up of forced steel with inward projected poles. The poles carrying field windings. The field windings are connected such

It is a signal phase motor whose operation depends upon the hysteresis (magnetisation produced in a ferromagnetic material lags behind the magnetising force) and on the presence of continuously revolving magnetic flux. Construction A stator designed to produce a synchronously revolving field from a single phase supply. This is accomplished by using permanent split capacitor

A universal motor is a specially designed series wound motor, that operates at approximately the same speed and output on either dc or ac of approximately same voltage. Construction A universal motor is similar to a de series motor in construction. It is constructed with few series field turns, laminated armature and field circuits, low

Repulsion motor are similar to series motors except that the rotor and the stator windings are inductively coupled, the rotor current is obtained by transformer action from the stator. Types of Repulsion Motor Two stator winding repulsion motor Compensated repulsion motor. Repulsion start induction motors. Repulsion induction motors. Repulsion Motor Repulsion motors is similar to

If the excitation of a synchronous motor is kept constant, the load current changes with the variation of load. If the load is kept constant and field excitation is varied, the synchronous motor operates by changing its power factor. When the excitation is weak. the stator takes a magnetising current from 3 phase AC supply

When the excitation of a three phase synchronous motor taking constant power P from constant voltage supply main is varied, the power factor of the motor changes. The power drawn by a 3 phase synchronous motor is given by, P = √3 VI cosΦ where V is the line voltage, I is the armature current

The four various types of torque associated with a synchronous motor are described below. Four types of torque are, Starting torque It indicates the ability of the motor to accelerate the load. It is also sometimes called “break away torque”. It may be as low as 10% in case of centrifugal pumps, and as high
