Defining the General Data for a Switched Reluctance Motor

Use the General window to define the power settings, speed, and period of the motor.

To define the general data:

1. To open the General Data Properties window, double-click the Machine entry in the project tree on the desktop. (You can also enter values in the Properties section of the desktop without opening a separate window.)
2. Enter the energy loss due to friction at the given speed in the Frictional Loss field.
3. Enter the wind loss due to air resistance measured at the reference speed in the Wind Loss field.
4. Enter the given speed in the Reference Speed field.
5. Select DC or CCC from the Control Type drop-down menu.
6. Select a Circuit Type from the following types:
• Full-Voltage
• Half-Voltage
• Coupled-Coil

The circuit types are based on industry standards. By default, type Full-Voltage, is selected as the circuit type.

Note: When you place the mouse cursor over a circuit type, an outline schematic of the circuit appears.
7. Click OK to close the Properties window.
