How ‘switched reluctance motors’ are being brought back, mainly to advance electric mobility

[Bill906]

Please note the interconnecting line between PMASR and IPMM on the diagram. I don't think it is always possible to put a motor in one class or another.

After further analysis of that diagram... does the line between the IPM and the PMSynRel motor mean they are the same thing? If not, what's the difference between an IPM and a PMSynRel?

Could you share where the diagram came from?

I take it to mean there is a continuum of designs which are neither all one or all the other. The diagram comes from AC Motor Control and Electrical Vehicle Applications by Kwang Hee Nam, CRC Press 2019. There's a hell of a lot of information in it but it is pretty dense. Checking on Amazon I see there is a new edition (2020). I'd check the "Look Inside" stuff before springing $180 for it. My edition starts Chapter 1 with manifolds, vector spaces and tensors. Looks as if the newer edition is toned down a bit from there.

Thanks!
