Design of Switched Reluctance Motor for Elevator Application

Abstract

This paper describes methodology to calculate required motor power rating for elevator and lift application. Switched reluctance motor an excellent candidate for traction applications contributes more in low speed-high torque application. Quality of lift is analyzed by its smoothness, without any jurg. Torque production in motor during acceleration and deceleration decides Smoothness of lift. In this paper a switched reluctance motor is designed and analyzed which gives precise control over its speed-torque profile.
