THE RECTIFIER-FED RELUCTANCE MOTOR AS DRIVE FOR ELECTRIC MOTOR VEHICLES

Manfred Rentmeister

Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

The problem of replacing commutator motors on electric motor vehicles by induction motors that are more powerful and more practical from the maintenance angle can be resolved by using unipolar reluctance motors. The rotor of the unipolar machine is very robust because there are no windings, but this advantage is diminished by the problems arising from its high speed and the mode of excitation. The rectifier feed system is also indirectly responsible for special requirements which affect the size of the motor.
