SWITCHED RELUCTANCE MOTOR REPAIR

You may have heard a switched reluctance motor referred to as a variable reluctance motor. There is a rising emphasis on energy efficiency in every industry, and we’re seeing switched reluctance motors taking more prominent roles in industrial uses, appliances, and both vehicular and commercial applications. The simple and rugged construction, insensitivity to extreme temperatures, and high-speed operating of the motor are what have caused this part to gain interest in many applications, including electrical vehicles and wind energy systems. 

 

What is a switched reluctance motor? We’re going to break this down into two parts to help you better understand this motor.

  

• The reluctance of a magnetic material is its ability to oppose the flow of magnetic flux. The electromagnetic field will exert a strong force onto any steel force near it to align with the invisible magnetic field.  

• “Switched” refers to the location of the magnetic field, which is switched from one location to the next adjacent to continue to spin the rotor.  

 

Now, here’s the complete definition of switched reluctance: it’s an electromagnetic, rotary machine where the torque produced by the movable parts moves to a different position to maximize the exiting wind. These machines offer better reliability and performance, cost less, and are more efficient than standard induction or other adjustable speed motors.
