Abstract

This paper verifies the proposed methodology of a novel Dual-mode Reluctance Motor which can switch the motor mode between a switched reluctance motor and a synchronous reluctance motor to enhance the high efficiency region. Theoretically, the iron loss of a synchronous reluctance motor mode is low with respect to that of a switched reluctance motor mode in higher rotational speed and low power region because of the lower iron loss specification of the synchronous reluctance motor. In this paper, the current waveforms of both the switched reluctance motor mode and the synchronous reluctance motor mode are realized, then, the motor specification can be switched. Also, the test results of the DRM are carried out at the low speed and low torque region is carried out to check the variation of the motor specification.
