This paper presents a comprehensive comparison of switched reluctance machines (SRMs)
with short-pitched and fully pitched windings for the same machine geometry. An SRM
designed for off-road vehicles with short-pitched windings is rewound with full-pitched
windings and the two winding structures are compared. The two different winding
configurations were evaluated with unipolar excitation at the same bus voltage level for the
driver. The machines are compared with respect to their electromagnetic behavior, operating …

This paper presents a comprehensive comparison of switched reluctance machines (SRM)
with short pitched and full pitched windings for the same machine geometry. A switched
reluctance machine designed for off-road vehicles with short-pitched windings is rewound
with full-pitched windings and the two winding structures are compared. The effect of
number of turns on the torque speed characteristics is also investigated. The two different
winding configurations were evaluated with unipolar excitation at the same bus voltage level …
