Abstract

This paper presents a modelling of a Transverse Vernier Hybrid Reluctance Motor (TVHRM). The geometry of the magnetic circuit of this latter is especially 3D. The use of the 3D finite element method to do the analysis and to predetermine the motor characteristics is more accurate, but with an important computational time which makes unpractical a parametric study. An analytical model which will allow a rapid investigation of the motor characteristics is a good compromise between accurate results and a weakly simulation time. This is done through two comparable models based both on the equivalent reluctance network method. These analytical models are compared to the 2D finite element one. Finally the predicted characteristics are estimated with the practical test results.
