US Patent:

8125170, Feb 28, 2012
Filed:

Jun 16, 2008
Appl. No.:

12/140232
Inventors:

Babak Fahimi - Arlington TX, US
Umamaheshwar Krishnamurthy - Arlington TX, US
Assignee:

Board of Regents, The University of Texas System - Austin TX
International Classification:

H02P 6/00
US Classification:

31840035, 318701, 318721, 31840034
Abstract:

A system and technique for measuring the mutual inductance in a switched reluctance machine (SRM). In a first example embodiment of the technique, a voltage pulse is applied to primary coil when the machine is stationery. By measuring current in the primary coil and measuring induced voltages in adjacent open circuited coils mutual inductance may be determined. In another example embodiment, a voltage pulse is applied to the primary coil when the machine is stationery. The secondary coil is allowed to freewheel current through the phase. By measuring time taken by the primary phase to reach a preset value, the mutual inductance for the known position of a rotor can be determined.
