They can be more efficient than induction motors and work at variable speeds. They are also inherently simple. For a time, they powered Maytag Neptune washing machines. Switched-reluctance (SR) motors ...

How the switched reluctance motor's (SRM) architecture eliminates the need for magnets and rotor windings. Why SRMs are some of the most rugged and cost-effective motor technologies available. A look ...

Switched reluctance motor (SRM) drives are emerging as a compelling alternative for electric vehicle propulsion owing to their simple construction, robust performance and elimination of permanent ...

Unveiled as the industry’s first SRM-SPM power modules for driving two-phase switched reluctance motors, the FCAS20DN60BB and FCAS30DN60BB integrate two HVICs, one LVIC, four NPT IGBTs, four fast ...

With the advent of high-speed digital signal processors (DSPs) specialized for motion control applications, it has become possible to control motors without mechanical (speed or position) sensors.

Combining the advantages of permanent magnet and induction motors, new synchronous reluctance motors (SynRM) offer potentially breakthrough technology for variable speed drive (VSD) and motor packages ...

Brake-by-wire systems are becoming a core technology for intelligent electric vehicles, but their performance depends heavily ...

Nidec Corporation (TSE: 6594; OTC US: NJDCY) (the “Company” or “Nidec”) announced today that it has launched for the US market SynRA (Synchronous Reluctance Motor with Aluminum Cage Rotor), the ...

Tesla is working on a new electric motor upgrade for Model S and Model X with a more efficient permanent magnet reluctance system based on the motor Tesla developed for Model 3. As we reported earlier ...
