Abstract

In this study, the working principles of a linear switched reluctance motor (LSRM) are demonstrated through the design and implementation of a linear switched reluctance motor with its appropriate control system. The paper focuses on merely demonstrating the working principles of the LSRM, and consequently does not focus on a specific application. A 6/4 poled, 3-phase LSRM is designed and implemented. The LSRM is controlled using a micro-controller and the accuracy of the control was improved by using linear incremental position sensors for feedback.
