Abstract

This paper presents a design and characteristic analysis of an SRM drive for EPS(Electrically Power Steering) application. A rack mounted EPS system is considered in this paper. A conventional driving room space and mechanical structure are considered in a design stage. In the restricted design conditions, motor parameters are determined for sufficient torque and speed. For the smooth torque generation and simple circuit of power system, 12/8 motor drive is considered. With FEM and magnetic circuit analysis, designed motor is simulated to meet the requirement of specifications. Effectiveness of the suggested SRM drive for EPS application is studied by the drive tests of a prototype motor.
