Abstract
In the paper an influence of magnetic couplings on chosen properties of the four-phase switched reluctance generator was discussed. Waveforms of phase currents and dependencies of electromagnetic torque, output power and efficiency in the function of rotor speed were determined on the basis of field-circuit model with taking into account magnetic couplings between phases and case with magnetic independencies of particular phases. Conclusions concerning influence of magnetic couplings on chosen characteristics of generator and conclusions concerning selection of windings supply type were presented.
