Abstract
Linear switched reluctance motors (LSRMs) provide an alternative to linear induction motor and linear permanent magnet motor in both vertical and horizontal propulsion applications. This paper attempts to develop a unitized design method of a segmental secondary LSRM, which is characterized by a modular magnetic circuit structure and the independent operation of multimover units. The developed design method is directly performed in linear domain without transforming it to a rotary SRM, which complies with the essential natures of the segmental secondary LSRM, showing that it is capable of delivering more power at the same dimensions compared to the conventional tooth type LSRM. Further, the sensitivity analysis of the critical geometric parameters is performed, and the guidelines for selection of the best dimension parameters are given. Finally, the three-phase and four-phase LSRMs are designed and prototyped, respectively with a 1-m long stator. The experimental results validate the design procedures and analysis above.
