Abstract

Bearingless switched reluctance motor can be used in aerospace and flywheel energy storage industry. Taking a 6/4/4 hybrid excitation double stator bearingless switched reluctance motor as an example, the motor adopts an E-block structure on the outer stator and is excited by permanent magnet and current. The loss calculation and thermal analysis of the motor is carried out by using finite element method. The result shows temperature distributions of the motor under natural air-cooling condition. The temperature change under different operating status is analyzed. Finally, the temperature change and transient temperature curve of each part of the motor are obtained through simulation, and the motor can run stably.
