Reluctance motor

1. Reluctance motor

2. • Reluctance is opposition to magnetic flux.
• Reluctance is analogous to electric resistance.
• Reluctance motor does not have any winding on rotor.
• Reluctance motor is some what similar to brushed DC motor.
• Poles of reluctance motor is type of non permanent magnet.
• The torque which is required for rotation of rotor is generated through
magnetic reluctance so it called reluctance motor.
• Reluctance motor can deliver a high power density.
• Stator poles of a reluctance motor are more than the rotor poles.
• All the poles of reluctance motor are wound with copper winding.
• We can to control it through microcontroller.
• Reluctance motor is use in hard disk drive motor, Tape Recorder, Clock
Timer etc.
