  • Skewing of pole laminations of a switched reluctance machine to reduce acoustic noise
    Patent number: 5266859
    Abstract: The laminations respectively comprising the rotor and stator poles of a switched reluctance machine (SRM) are skewed as they are stacked during machine assembly in order to reduce the tendency of the SRM to flatten and thereby assume an oval shape during machine operation. As a result, the acoustic noise generated by the SRM during machine operation is substantially reduced.
