Structure Dimensions Variation of the Segmented Switched Reluctance Linear Synchronous Motor (SSRLSM) and the Effects on Its Performances
Main Article Content
Abstract
This paper proposed and discussed a SRLSM with the segmental pole. The segmented SRLSM which known as SSRLSM was designed for domestic lift application. The SSRLSM was designed to fulfill the design target requirement where the lift must be able to transport a maximum 200 kg payload. A lab-scaled prototype of the SSRLSM was developed for experimental and measurement purpose. Beforehand, the SSRLSM was designed and simulated for different structure dimension to study the effect of structure’s reduction towards its performances. The structure dimensions involved are the number of coil number and the stack length where the number of coil is reduced from 6 coils to 3 coils. The results show that the thrust produced by the 6-coils and 3-coils SSRLSM is 2400 N and 1200 N, respectively. This shows that, the thrust is reduced by 50 % as the number of coil reduced by half. At the same time, the thrust produced also reduced by approximately 50 % as the stack length, z reduced by half from 400 mm to 200 mm. This shows that, the thrust, F of the SSRLSM is directly proportional to the number of coil as well the stack length, z.
