Simulation and experimentation of a two-phase claw-pole motor

The aim of this paper is to evaluate static and dynamic characteristics of a two-phase claw-pole motor. The static characteristics are calculated and measured respectively for a single phase-core assembled into the motor and for a complete motor. The dynamic characteristics of the motor are evaluated on the basis of non-linear static characteristics. Later, the control system that is designed in simulation environment is implemented in Real Time dSpace control environment. Some design issues are studied in order to improve the existing motor design
