ABSTRACT |
The variable reluctance type resolver is widely used in an electric motor for hybrid electric vehicles as a rotor position sensor. The purpose of this paper is to present a simulation-based approach capable of determining a more accurate rotor shape of variable reluctance resolver in order to cut the time and cost of its development before testing a physical prototype. For the verification of the simulation-based approach to the position error detection of rotor, experiments for 8XVR resolver were conducted. Based on this approach, an optimal salient-pole rotor shape of 4X-VR resolver is proposed. |
