Dynamic simulation of maximizing the starting torque for super-high-speed drive of a 4/2 Switched Reluctance Motor

Modification of the structure and the operation principle of switched reluctance motor (SRM) would make it possible to obtain super-high-speed drive. Therefore, we adopt 4/2 structure of SRM. In this paper, we examine the optimum design and the dynamic characteristics of 4/2 SRM for super-high-speed drive by maximizing the starting torque. In this design, the parameters, such as the outside diameter of stator and the length of gap, are fixed. We analyze the structure of 4/2 SRM for maximizing the starting torque using the two-dimensional finite element method (2D FEM), and simulate the dynamics model of 4/2 SRM at the maximum starting torque using MATLAB/SIMULINK.
