Abstract

This paper explores the effect of modular structure on the thermal management performance of switched reluctance motors. By designing the modular structure, combined with the centralized winding and parallel slot configuration, the heat dissipation capability of the motor is significantly improved without affecting the torque performance of the motor. Meanwhile, the effect of thermal management on the demagnetization behavior of permanent magnets, especially the mechanism of action when forming mixed excitation, is investigated. Finally, the thermal performance of the motor and the demagnetization characteristics of the permanent magnets are comprehensively analyzed by temperature field simulation, which provides an important basis for the optimized design of the motor.
