True or false: a switched reluctance machine needs no permanent magnet or rotor winding.

  • A.True, but only in the very smallest ratings of such machines
  • B.False, since its rotor carries magnets between its poles
  • C.True, its rotor being plain shaped steel
  • D.False, since its rotor carries a cage winding to develop torque

Answer: C

Correct answer: True, its rotor being plain shaped steel

The rotor is a stack of laminations shaped into salient poles - no winding, no magnet, no cage, no brushes. That is the machine’s principal attraction: cheap to make, mechanically robust, able to run at high speed and high temperature, and with nothing on the rotor to fail.
