ANALYSIS OF A FLUX SWITCHING AND A SWITCHED RELUCTANCE MACHINE USED IN AUTOMOTIVE

The paper details a theoretical approach comparing two types of electrical machine suitable for automotive traction applications. The two compared machines are the flux switching and the switched reluctance one. The comparison is carried out starting from the same requirements and comparing their behavior in the same motor regimes. The performances of each machine are highlighted concluding with the advantages and drawbacks of each of them. Keywords: comparison, flux switching, switched reluctance, performances
