This page should probably be merged with Reluctance motor.
The code examples and some of the speculation on control circuitry is not really relevant to the topic

removed advertising and second the probably shuld be merged with [Reluctance_motor]

removed the entire refrence section they wer all links to unrelated content that could be summed up as google page rank fishing. And i second the shuld be merged, provided no content is lost, needs some rework but the images are better than [Reluctance_motor].Eadthem (talk) 15:00, 15 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Is isolation needed

"The electrical isolation of the control and power circuitry modules is very important and is used so that the control electronics are protected from any voltage fluctuations in the power circuitry. T"

I'll admit to being unconvinced that isolation is the only practical way to address voltage variation or inductive kickback. Tabby (talk) 03:56, 8 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Great picture

I'm going to take out the picture; the demand for motors that can only rotate 30 degrees before jamming must be rather small. --Wtshymanski (talk) 15:42, 29 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

What the f*** are you talking about?Teapeat (talk) 17:18, 29 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Look at the picture. That rotor cannot turn. --Wtshymanski (talk) 17:51, 29 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ooops. Got to zoom in. --Wtshymanski (talk) 17:56, 29 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Switched reluctance

I don't see what's "switched". Is the only difference that (variable) reluctance motor is fed off polyphase sinusoidal AC, but the switched reluctance motor is fed by rectangular waveforms from some kind of drive? --Wtshymanski (talk) 18:22, 29 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

uses?

What are these used for? BriEnBest (talk) 01:07, 27 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The Tesla Model 3 car's main traction motor, the rear axle motor is of the switched reluctance permanent magnet design, driven by a silicon-carbide MOSFET inverter. That's a revolutionary novelty! (In "4WD" variants of the Tesla 3 car the front axle's traction remains a squirrel cage AC motor driven by IGBT inverter because that design allows for coasting when the rear motor alone suffices for propulsion needs, e.g. highway cruising.) 79.120.151.235 (talk) 22:42, 30 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately, that information is incorrect. To date, no Tesla car has a switched reluctance element. The permanent magnet motors from Tesla have synchronous reluctance contributions, but so do almost all faster spinning permanent magnet motors in electric cars since way before Tesla for physical reasons (particularly field weakening). The rest is just aggressive marketing. 109.43.112.11 (talk) 21:31, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Professor Bose as SRM

Paraphasing from p. 891 of Professor Bimal Bose's 2006 book, 'Power Electronics and Motor Drives: Advances and Trends'

- Bose says that SRM pioneer A. Peter Lawrenson's dream that SRM would in future revolutionize electric drive has not materialized.

- Thousands of university papers and dozens of doctoral theses have been written about SRM but the technology have not advanced.

- Though SRM can in theory be used in any application, Bose considers the SRM drive to be:

'quite inferior' to PMSM and BLDM drives
inferior to induction motor drives
somewhat inferior to SyRM drives.

- SRM is mostly compared with PMSM and IM drives.

- The more popular use of EV/HEV drives is for IPMSM and SyRM drives.

- Simple and economical construction is possibly SRM’s only favorable features.Cblambert (talk) 20:29, 25 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

A0, A1, B0, B1 ???

No explanation no drawing which shows what these A0... "poles" mean and how they are arranged. 77.4.229.168 (talk) 20:02, 18 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

History Section Issues

The article states that "The first patent was by W. H. Taylor in 1838", citing an article that barely touches on the subject (in fact the article says nothing about a patent from Taylor, just that he invented it in the 1800s). While the underlying claim is likely true, it needs a better citation. I can't find any other mentions of Taylor's patent, however The Mechanics' Magazine for May 9th 1840 (No. 874, see page 693 here) describes Taylor's motor in detail. Additionally, Eric R. Laithwaite's "A History of the Linear Electric Motors" (ISBN 978-1-349-08298-8) writes that Wheatstone also built and patented reluctance motors (I cannot find the particular details of those motors, including the patents, the book cites Brian Bowers, though I also can't find his articles on the topic), which is another fact that could be featured in the history section. 109.171.192.49 (talk) 14:58, 11 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
