Advantages

  • above-average continuous torque in the base speed range
  • extraordinary acceleration capability
  • low maintenance
  • high holding torque even over extended periods
  • high overload capability
  • small dimensions
  • high operating safety after failure of one or several motor phases
  • excellent efficiency over wide speed range
  • ruggedness
  • negligible rotor temperature rise
  • maximum speeds: As the rotor of the switched reluctance motor has no winding and no permanent magnets, it may be subjected to high radial forces which makes the motor ideal for high-speed applications. Since the hysteresis loss rises as the speed increases, low-pole reluctance motors are the best choice for these applications.
