In this paper, an oil-cooling induction switched reluctance machine (ISRM) is offered. The stator and rotor of the electric machine are non-segmental. However, by placing coils on the rotor, a short magnetic flux path is achieved in the rotor and stator cores. As a result, a higher torque with lower losses is generated. This configuration can be used in high-power electric motors for electric and hybrid vehicles. ISRM is a novel machine and there is a lack of access to its operation and data characteristics. ISRM can be designed in different configurations with various stator and rotor pole numbers and winding strategies. In this study, an oil-cooling three-phase ISRM with 6 stator poles and 4 rotor poles was considered. Firstly, a 2D finite element model of it is created, and its magnetic properties extracted, the flux path, torque and efficiency of the ISRM are calculated, and the results are presented. Secondly, the thermal performance of the motor is analyzed using ANSYS Motor-Cad software. Finally, a prototype of the ISRM and its appropriate drive with the oil cooling system is built and tested. The experimental results and conclusions which prove the ability of the presented machine are presented in the last parts of the paper.
