This course uses established motor principles and electromagnetic fundamentals to increase your understanding of machine design in the context of Switched Reluctance and Synchronous Reluctance machines. Examples and calculation 'how-to' are given taking realistic manufacturing constraints, especially magnetic saturation, into account. Special emphasis will be on design of application-specific motors, drive requirements, practical design for low-cost manufacturing, and how to achieve specifications such as torque, power density, speed, low noise, etc.
