Abstract
This paper shows a general review of Switched Reluctance
Motors (SRM), reports the conversion of Active Magnetic
Bearing (AMB) to SRM and discusses methods to estimate
the torque produced in SRM. AMB converted to SRM has been
tested on a laboratory scale test rig and its torque
production measured. The novelty of this paper is the
modified analytical method to estimate fringing flux
paths enabling more accurate mathematical model to
estimate torque. The reason for careful analysis of the
air gap forces is the demand for electromagnetic models
of the motor to be used in the motor controller. The
ultimate goal of our work is to develop self-bearing
(self-levitating bearingless) SRM.
