The chief drawback of the switched reluctance machine is its

  • A.requirement for brushes and a commutator
  • B.torque ripple and acoustic noise
  • C.requirement for expensive permanent magnet material
  • D.inability to develop torque at standstill

Answer: B

Correct answer: torque ripple and acoustic noise

Torque is produced in pulses as each phase takes over from the last, so the output is inherently rippled, and the strong radial forces pulling the rotor poles towards the stator excite the stator as an acoustic structure. Both are matters of control and mechanical design rather than defects in principle, but they have limited the machine’s adoption.
