Abstract

This paper presents a comparative analysis of different topologies of longitudinal flux linear switched reluctance motors (LFLSRMs) and transverse flux linear switched reluctance motors (TFLSRMs) for choosing a suitable configuration to operate as propulsion actuator in high-speed transit applications. This work also presents a new topology of 6/16 LFLSRM and 6/16 TFLSRM to increase the propulsion force and decrease the force ripples of the conventional LSRM. Designed motors are analyzed using the 3-D finite element method (FEM). At First, the paper designs a conventional 6/4 LFLSRM for the given specifications. Later, the parameters of this designed 6/4 LFLSRM are used to design a 6/8 LFLSRM and a 6/16 LFLSRM. To highlight the superiority of LFLSRMs in transit applications, this study compares the performances of LFLSRMs with their equivalent TFLSRMs. For laying the common platform for this comparison, the work converts longitudinal dimensions of LFLSRMs into lateral dimensions to create their corresponding TFLSRMs. For a fair comparison, this work keeps the basic physical dimensions and magneto-motive force (MMF) of the windings same. The results show the effectiveness of LFLSRMs for transit applications.
