    摘要: Various embodiments are described herein for a switched reluctance machine having a rotor excitation. In one example embodiment, the switched reluctance machine comprises a stator and a rotor. The rotor may be disposed inside or outside the stator. The rotor is spaced from the stator, and the rotor and the stator are concentrically disposed. The rotor has a plurality of rotor poles having an excitation source, where the excitation source comprises at least one adjustable parameter. The excitation source is provided by a permanent magnet. The dimensions and various other parameters associated with the permanent magnets are adjustable.

    摘要: A three-phase switched reluctance machine has a rotor, a first stator and a second stator. The rotor, first stator and second stator are coaxially and concentrically disposed. The rotor and both the first stator and second stator have corresponding poles. Only one of the stators has coils wound about its poles, while the other stator does not have any coils. A defined relationship between the number of rotor poles, the number of stator poles on the first stator and the number of stator poles on the second stator may improve the torque quality of the switched reluctance machine.
