Chapter 2 Linear analysis of the <strong>Shark</strong> switched Reluctance Mo<strong>to</strong>r<br />
coils, which means an equal number of turns per pole, the same conduc<strong>to</strong>r diameter and<br />
consequently the same quantity of copper. The geometric conditions of the analysis may be<br />
summarised as follows:<br />
• the two <strong>mo<strong>to</strong>r</strong>s have identical stack lengths<br />
• the two <strong>mo<strong>to</strong>r</strong>s have identical main dimensions (see Fig.2.4 and Fig.2.5)<br />
• the two <strong>mo<strong>to</strong>r</strong>s have identical lengths of the air gap<br />
• the two <strong>mo<strong>to</strong>r</strong>s contain the same amount of material (iron and copper)<br />
Methodology of the Analysis<br />
The geometrical pattern, which is longitudinally translated <strong>to</strong> <strong>for</strong>m the <strong>Shark</strong> air gap, is called <strong>Shark</strong><br />
<strong>to</strong>oth/profile/segment and it may adopt various shapes. A study of the effect of applying these<br />
shapes was per<strong>for</strong>med <strong>for</strong> the aligned ro<strong>to</strong>r position in this section. The sections considered are<br />
illustrated in: Fig.2.6, Fig.2.7, Fig.2.8 and Fig.2.9. Each of these <strong>Shark</strong> profiles is defined by the<br />
following dimensions: lshk – <strong>Shark</strong> <strong>to</strong>oth pitch, hshk – height of the <strong>Shark</strong> profile, angle and g – the<br />
air gap length. The air gap length is assumed <strong>to</strong> be constant <strong>for</strong> all <strong>Shark</strong> profiles considered. For<br />
some configurations, e.g. as the square wave, the length of the air gap may have different values in<br />
the radial and longitudinal directions, as shown in Fig.2.8. The trapezoidal version requires an<br />
additional parameter, l<strong>to</strong>p, expressed as a fraction k of the <strong>to</strong>oth pitch, lshk.<br />
