Reluctance motor subtypes include synchronous, variable, switched and variable stepping. Reluctance motors can deliver high power density at low cost, making them attractive for many applications. Disadvantages include high torque ripple (the difference between maximum and minimum torque during one revolution) when operated at low speed, and ...
The switched reluctance motor (SRM) is a type of reluctance motor. Unlike brushed DC motors , power is delivered to windings in the stator (case) rather than the rotor . This simplifies mechanical design because power does not have to be delivered to the moving rotor, which eliminates the need for a commutator .
A permanent magnet synchronous motor and reluctance motor requires a control system for operating (VFD or servo drive). There is a large number of control methods for synchronous machines, selected depending on the construction of the electric motor and the scope. Control methods can be divided into: [21] [22] Scalar control. V/f control ...
The first switched reluctance linear motor ideas date back to the 1970s. In 1973, inventors Hi D Chai and Joseph P Pawletko from International Business Machines Corp patent a "Variable reluctance linear stepper motor". Then a linear stepper motor of the variable reluctance type was for serial printer applications.
DTC techniques for the interior permanent magnet synchronous machine (IPMSM) were introduced in the late 1990s [16] and synchronous reluctance motors (SynRM) in the 2010s. [17] DTC was applied to doubly fed machine control in the early 2000s. [18] Doubly fed generators are commonly used in 1-3 MW wind turbine applications.
A superconducting rotor does not have the inherent damping of a conventional rotor. Its speed may hunt or oscillate around its synchronous speed. Motor bearings need to be able to withstand cold or need to be insulated from the cold rotor. As a synchronous motor, electronic control is essential for practical operation.
A stepper motor, also known as step motor or stepping motor, [1] is a brushless DC electric motor that rotates in a series of small and discrete angular steps. [2] Stepper motors can be set to any given step position without needing a position sensor for feedback. The step position can be rapidly increased or decreased to create continuous ...
In vector control, an AC induction or synchronous motor is controlled under all operating conditions like a separately excited DC motor. [21] That is, the AC motor behaves like a DC motor in which the field flux linkage and armature flux linkage created by the respective field and armature (or torque component) currents are orthogonally aligned such that, when torque is controlled, the field ...
