Abstract

This paper analyzed the flux characteristics of a single-phase tubular switched reluctance linear motor (TSRLM) based on magnetic equivalent circuit (MEC) method. The single-phase TSRLM is divided into five different parts, which are the teeth of the stator, the yoke of the stator, air gap, the teeth of the mover, and the yoke of the mover. The reluctance of every part is expressed in analytical formulas at five special mover positions. The flux linkages at five special mover positions are calculated by magnet tube method and Gauss–Seidel iteration method which takes the saturation into consideration. A high-order Fourier series method is used to map the nonlinear relationship between flux linkage, current, and mover position with the flux linkage data calculated by the MEC method. The calculated flux linkage is consistent with 3-D finite-element method and experimental results. The dynamic and static performance of the simulation utilized with MEC method is consistent with those in experiments, which verifies the accuracy of the MEC method proposed in this paper.
