This course covers the comprehensive understanding of switched reluctance machines. It covers the design principles of a switched reluctance machine, focusing on specifications like power, torque, speed, efficiency, electric loading, and magnetic loading. It provides a deep dive into the sizing equations used to analyze the volume product for a given power rating. The course concludes with the process of loss calculations and efficiency analysis in switched reluctance machines, discussing the specifics of copper losses, core losses, and mechanical losses.
