FAULT TOLERANT MODULAR LINEAR TRANSVERSE FLUX RELUCTANCE MACHINES

This paper deals with two types of variable reluctance machines, both having linear movement. There are in fact modular structures that can operate even if different kinds of faults occur. One of thepresented machines will be a linear transverse flux reluctance machine, the other a tubular transverse flux reluctance machine. Both of them have the same operating principle, and, as it will be proved, many of the considerations done here are valid for both machines.
