Abstract

© The Institution of Engineering & Technology 2024.In this paper the effect of winding configuration on the performance of six-phase Segmented Switch Reluctance Motor (SSRM) in terms of iron losses, torque profile, and efficiency is investigated. A circuit-coupled Finite Element (FE) model is developed to accurately consider the switching condition and control circuit of the six-phase SSRM and ensure a fair comparison between configurations. In the switching control system, the effect of the Initial Firing Angle (IFA) and Conduction Period (CP) on the performance of different winding configurations are investigated. Then, the overall performance of different winding configurations at their optimum IFA and CP combination are compared. The results indicate that the N-S winding configuration has a superior performance compared to other topologies.
