Nagarajan %J Journal of Asian Scientific Research %D 2013 %I %X This paper describes methodology to calculate required motor power rating for elevator and lift application. Switched reluctance motor an excellent candidate for traction applications contributes more in low speed-high torque application. Quality of lift is analyzed by its smoothness, without any jurg. Torque production in motor during acceleration and deceleration decides Smoothness of lift. In this paper a switched reluctance motor is designed and analyzed which gives precise control over its speed-torque profile. %K switched reluctance motor %K smoothness %K speed-torque profile %K elevator and lift application %U http://www.aessweb.com/abstract.php?m=March2013&id=5003&aid=1863
