摘要

This paper deals with accuracy improvement of a traditional magnetic model for saliency switched reluctance machines. The machine is with high power density for traction application. The calculation is featured by taking conductor layout and slotting effect. Fundamental characteristics, such as flux linkage and air-gap flux density, are analyzed, based on magneto-motive force (MMF) as well as magnetic permeance. Specifically in the MMF model, the winding function is featured by conductor distribution of coils in stator slots, and relation between air-gap flux harmonics and conductor layout is discussed, which helps to reduce harmonics. In the magnetic permeance model, emphases are made on the air-gap permeance fitting using a fourth-order polynomial, followed by a fitting method of magnetic saturation especially with high excitation. A finite-element method is used as a reference.
