FLUX SWITCHING MOTORS AND DRIVES A Tutorial |
This
centre and these projects have mostly moved to the Company Technelec
Ltd, ![[Globe Graphic]](../images/earbull.gif){kind=small}
that was set upby Professor Pollock to exploit this technology |
The flux switching motor (FSM) is a combination of the
switched reluctance motor and the inductor alternator. The lamination profile is very similar
to that of a two phase 4/2 switched reluctance motor, thus allowing its simple
construction and inherent robustness, to be retained. However the windings are pitched across an additional slot,
relative to the short pitched switched reluctance winding. The two phase fully pitched winding
arrangement is similar to that used in inductor alternators.
