Abstract (EN): Switched reluctance machines (SRM) are simple, robust and fault tolerant machines, usually operating under strong nonlinear characteristics. Hence, modeling this machine is a most demanding task. While magnetic saturation is often addressed, hysteresis effect is usually disregarded. In order to include this phenomenon, an SRM drive simulation model was built, where magnetization characteristics are generated through the Jiles-Atherton (J-A) hysteresis model. SRM losses estimation is a challenging task, which demands continuous research efforts. This paper intends to investigate hysteresis impact on SRM copper losses. Due to the machine features, skin and proximity effects are considered. Different steady-state operation scenarios are simulated and compared.
