Abstract—Switched Reluctance M achines (SRM ) offer
attractive attributes for automotive applications. Low cost, high
reliability, and competitive weight and efficiency combine to
make the switched reluctance (SR) motor drive a strong
candidate for application in future electric vehicle (EV)
propulsion systems. This paper proposes a methodology to
determine separately the peak and continuous power ratings
of a switched reluctance motor (SRM) for electric propulsion
of an electric vehicle (EV).same machine have to deliver peak
and continuous power for different road load condition of
vehicle. Then gives switched reluctance design guidelines for
battery operated electric vehicles. Finally, it presents the
design and simulation of a switched reluctance motor power
train.

continuous power ratings by considering the EV
specifications, the SRM operation principles. Initially, the
peak power rating Pm,peak of the SRM (electric motor) is
calculated from the specified acceleration duty. We then
compare this value with: 1) , Pm,max the power for cruising at
the vehicle maximum velocity as well as , the powers required
when the EV is moving at: 2)Pm,g, 30km/hr on a 3% gradient
and ascending a 25% gradient at low speed. The value of
Pm,peak is changed to Pm,max or the highest Pm,g if any of
these values is greater than the initial value of of Pm,peak .
Continuous power rating Pm,cont of the electric motor
(SRM), is determine by driving the vehicle at maximum speed.
In other words, the SRM is capable of delivering this
Pm,cont at the chosen speed. The SRM temperature rise under
this continuous power rating should be within the limits specified in [4] for each class of insulation. Conventional auto
rickshaws are suited to the Indian environment. They are
small and narrow, allowing maneuverability on congested
roads. They have a top speed of 55 km/h or 34 mi/h and
generally carry one to four passengers and their cargo. Despite the apparent advantages in the vehicle design, auto
rickshaws present a huge pollution problem in major Indian
cities. This is due to poor vehicle maintenance and the use of
an inefficient engine with very little pollution control. For
better performance and efficiency we can go with electric
power for auto rickshaw. In this paper we are taken auto
rickshaw for selecting power rating, designing and development switched reluctance motor for battery operated electric
vehicle.

IV. DESIGN OF SWITCHED RELUCTANCE MOTOR
Power developed in SRM is given by,
Pd = Ke * Kd * K1 * K2 * B * As * D2 * L * Nr
(3)
Here the stack length is assumed to be as the multiple or
submultiples of rotor bore diameter that is
L=K*D
(4)
For non-servo applications the range of K can be
0.25<K<0.7
For servo applications it’s usually the range given by
1<k<3
The specific electric loading is given by
As=stator current * No. of conductors
(5)
ΠD
As=2Tph * I * m
ΠD
m is the number of phases excited at a time in this design
taken as m=1 and I is the rms Current through the phase. The
specific electric loading in ampere conductors per meter is
usually in the range of: 25,000 < As<90000.
In this section switched reluctance motors is designed
by RMxprt. RMxprt uses a combination of analytical and
magnetic circuit equations to predict the performance of this
motor problem. RMxprt assumes the switched reluctance
motor operates with shaft position feedback to synchronize
the commutation of the phase currents with precise rotor
position single pulse operation is used phase excitation. In
the single pulse operation, each phase is energized at the
turn-on angle and switched off at the turn-off angle. The
difference between the turn-off and the turn-on angle is called
the dwell angle. RMxprt supports only switched reluctance
motors in which the number of stator poles is greater than
the number of rotor poles.

A. Srm Peak (Output) Power Rating
According to Indian road standard, acceleration for auto
rickshaw is a=0.65 m/s2, that is (0-30) km in 12.8 sec
Accelerating from 0 to 30 kmph in 12.8 sec = 5.8 HP
Maintaining 30 kmph in a 6% gradient = 5 HP.
Cruising at the maximum vehicle velocity = 4.5 HP
Thus, the peak output power rating Pm, peak of the SRM is
specified as 5.8 HP, see Table 2.
V. MACHINE SPECIFICATION
The design specifications for the SRM comprise of the
required power output P in HP, speed N in rpm, allowable
peak phase current Ip in Ampere, and available supply voltage
V in volts for the system. Knowing the speed and power
output will automatically fix the torque to be developed by
the machine [5].Figure 1. Shows the geometry used 4 phase
SRM with 6 rotor poles and 8 stator poles. Motor dimensions
and design parameters are shown in table III.

of 55km/hr and for sustained speeds on gradients. The
continuous power rating Pm,cont of the SRM is specified as

Figure 5.shows torque-speed characteristics of switched
reluctance motor. Starting torque should be high to propel
the vehicle. Chopper current control is applied to limit starting
current and also torque to requirement. Initial torque is locked
rotor torque which is limited because it causes sudden jurg
in vehicle. Torque produced is 50 Nm during acceleration
period, it varies for different road-load characteristics. For
maximum speed drive schedule torque is produced 7 Nm
required to propel vehicle.

zero during this period.

Figure 3.shows efficiency at various speeds, during
acceleration efficiency is good maintained above 75% .for
different drive schedule efficiency is maintained minimum
above 68%.
Figure 4.shows output power of motor power needed
during acceleration in 5.8 HP but SRM machine is delivering

CONCLUSION
Presented an approach for determining the SRM power
ratings for a complete specification in an Electric propulsion
application. Efficiency still has to be increased that is done
by further analysis. Future work is the need to develop a
procedure to design a SRM so that the losses are limited to
the desired proportion of the total and the thermal duty is
kept low. Further analysis with different material and by
changing pole angle. Now a day’s permanent magnet motor
are replaced by major electric vehicle manufacturers as SRM
a perfect candidate for propulsion application.
