This study presents an investigation on iron loss and start-up ability of a 1.5 kW output power with rated speed 5850 r/min 6/2 switched reluctance machine (SRM), which is used as a prime motor to directly drive centrifugal blower. Two winding connection types of the SRM are investigated, including the symmetrical magnetic topology (SyMT) and asymmetrical magnetic topology (ASyMT). The two types are proposed to settle poor self-start ability of the 6/2 SRM and high iron loss density of high-speed SRM. According to the simulation results, the SyMT has merit of self-start ability, i.e. no risk of start-up failure, whereas the ASyMT has advantage of low iron loss, i.e. low iron loss density on stator and rotor. Prototypes are manufactured to confirm and verify the predicted results and the test results prove the correctness of the analyses.
