Journal ArticleDOI
Variable-speed switched reluctance motors
TL;DR: In this article, the theory and potential of a family of doubly salient electronically-switched reluctance motors is explored. But the most recent prototype has achieved a continuous rating which is 1.4 times that of the equivalent induction motor.
Book
The Analytical and Numerical Solution of Electric and Magnetic Fields
TL;DR: The solution of Laplace's Equation by Separation of the Variables as discussed by the authors is the solution of the problem of separating the variables of the Laplace Equation in two-dimensional fields.

Journal ArticleDOI
Theory and performance of polyphase reluctance machines
P.J. Lawrenson,L.A. Agu +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a reluctance machine with radial poles replaced by circumferential segments is described, which exhibits unusual characteristics, and it is shown that the ideas of m.m.f. have to be abandoned, those of magnetic potential being employed instead.
Journal ArticleDOI
High-Performance Switched Reluctance Brushless Drives
William Frederick Ray,P.J. Lawrenson,Rex M. Davis,J. Michael Stephenson,Norman N. Fulton,Roy J. Blake +5 more
TL;DR: Switched reluctance (SR) drives offer the advantages of simple and robust motor construction, high speeds, high overall efficiencies over a wide operating range of torque and speed, simple power converter circuits with a reduced number of switches, and excellent controllability as discussed by the authors.
