In this study, the vibroacoustic characteristics and torque fluctuation of switched reluctance motors (SRMs) with different phases and poles have been analyzed in detail. Also, the common four SRMs, i.e., three-phase 6/4 SRM, four-phase 8/6 SRM, five-phase 10/8 SRM, and six-phase 12/10 SRM, have been selected. First, the spatial-temporal distribution characteristics of radial force in SRMs were revealed by virtue of the analytical derivation, which was validated by the 2D Fourier decomposition based on the finite-element results of radial force. Second, a multiphysics model, which was composed of an electromagnetic field, a mechanical field, and an acoustic field, was established to predict the noise behaviors of SRMs with different phases and poles. Third, the relationship between the torque fluctuation and the phases / poles of SRMs, and the relationship between the noise and the radial force / phases / poles are all analyzed.

This paper aims at the problem that the sideband vibration noise of induction motor caused by inverter pulse width modulation (PWM). The frequency distribution characteristics of the induction motor with 36 stator slots and 32 rotor slots (36/32 IM) are analyzed. Based on that, a frequency width selection method for the periodic signal-based modulation considering the characteristics of sideband electromagnetic force. Results show that this method can effectively reduce the peak value of the sound power level (SWL) of sideband noise of IM at different speeds. This method is also applicable to IMs with different pole-slot match.
