Problem definition. Features of operation of compressor plants require the use of a regulated electric drive, which provides energy-efficient operating modes [1-4]. Promising are induction motors with short-circuited rotors and frequency converters, which carry out a smooth adjustment of the rotational speed. Alternatives for them are controlled synchronous motors with electromagnetic excitation or with excitation from permanent magnets, as well as switched reluctance motors with reactive rotor [5].
The use of regulated switched reluctance motors due to their high energy performance, starting and adjusting properties provides solution of the problem of increasing the efficiency and reliability of electromechanical equipment operating under variable load conditions.

500 W, with a significant reloading capacity (up to 3.0), it is necessary to provide efficient modes of their operation with the maximum values of efficiency in the range of 1:6 with the permissible level of the ripples of the rotor rotational speed and to reduce the weight and size indicators as well as costs of the main units of the machine.
Analysis of recent research and publications. The
power indicators of electric drives with periodic loads are estimated using cyclic efficiency, which is determined in the period of one cycle of load variation. The long period of operation of the induction electric drive with periodic load with significant values of maximum and starting torques, in the mode of underloading leads to a decrease in energy efficiency and non-optimal energy use [6].
The level of the ripples of the rotation speed of motor rotors, traditionally induction, hermetically sealed piston compressors, is strictly regulated by standards and can not exceed 20 %. To reduce the amplitude of these ripples, on the motor rotor an additional inertial mass is mounted - the flywheel [7]. An important step to increase the reliability of the HPC drive is to reduce the ripples of rotational speed of the rotor to a predetermined level when it is adjusted in the required range. Analysis of the research of the switched reluctance drive [8] shows that in steady-state modes, its efficiency decreases by 4 % with a double load reduction, which is confirmed by the results [9]. In this paper [9] the authors give the characteristics of the SRM with switch with C-reset and vibrational energy return for change in supply voltage and switching angles at a constant load. The switch and its control circuit are simple enough, which is important for the mass production of compressors, pumps, etc.
Studies in this direction need to be continued for the purpose of evaluating the efficiency and ripples of the rotational speed of the SRM rotor at the change in the angles of switching, voltage and moment of inertia of the drive, taking into account the periodic load. This will allow the development of measures for adjusting the SRM rotor speed of rotation in the composition of compressor equipment and to reduce the costs of motor development.
The goal of the work is to form the dependencies of the efficiency on the power output at the changes in the supply voltage and switching angles, the ripples of the rotor rotation speed on the moment of inertia of the drive and the mechanical characteristics of the switched reluctance motors with periodic load, the development of recommendations for the provision of their efficient and reliable operating modes in the single-cylinder piston compressors.
Mathematical model of the switched reluctance drive. The object of the study is a SRM, which is developed on the basis of an induction motor 4AA56A4y3 (nominal power of 120 W and rotational speed of 3000 rpm) with a number of poles of 6/4 and of phases m=3 phases with a switch with C-reset and a vibrational energy return [9]. A mathematical model [9] is used to study the modes of operation, the adequacy of which is confirmed by comparing the results of numerical and experimental studies. Its equations describe the structural elements of the motor and take into account their mutual influence.

Mathematical modelling of the SRM is carried out in MATLAB - Simulink environment using the SymPowerSystems library. As the input parameters of the mathematical model, the angles 8on of switching on and dojf of switching off, the voltage of the DC link Ud and the phase inductance dependencies on the angle of rotation of the rotor and the phase current are used.
The mathematical model takes into account the dependence of the load torque of the single-cylinder HPC of single action on the rotation angle of the motor rotor Mc = f(0) applied in the range 7n/9 on the period 2n, the temporal dependence of which is shown in Fig. 1. To compare the calculations of operating modes with constant and periodic load, the average value Mc(muan) of
the last one during the load period is used. For Fig. 1 -0.33 N-m.

Numerical experiment. With the help of the mathematical model of the SRM, its efficiency is calculated taking into account losses in copper, magnetic and mechanical losses in operating modes at periodic loading. The calculation of the magnetic losses consisting of losses on hysteresis and eddy currents is based on the approach [10]. Mechanical losses are determined taking into account the change in rotor rotation speed and torque due to friction in bearings [9]. A method for controlling the SRM based on the change of the angle of switching on (воп = var) in the range воп = 36°.. .51° at a constant clock angle (вк = 30°) and symmetric switching is used.
Dependencies of efficiency on the useful power P2 at changes in the supply voltage and switching angles at steady and periodic load, when Mc(fliean) = 0.33 N-m, are shown in Fig. 2. Each dependence is obtained at steady angles of switching on and switching off and change of voltage. The power of 103 W corresponds to the rotation speed of 3000 rpm, 52 W - 1500 rpm. The obtained dependencies of the efficiency with periodic loading with the moment of inertia J = 0.5-10-3 kg-m2 practically do not differ from the efficiency of the motor with a constant load at J = 110-4 kg-m2 (the constant torque equals the average value of the periodic load).
Shift of the switching zone towards the lowering of the angles of switching on and switching off leads to an increase in the motor efficiency, but the increase in efficiency is not observed throughout the entire range of loads. This allows to formulate an algorithm for changing the angles of commutation, which provides the maximum values of the efficiency of the switched reluctance motors of single-cylinder compressors on single action for the entire range of rotor rotation frequency control:
• in the range 3000.1500 rpm the SRMs should operate with commutation angles воп = 36°, вад = 66° and the voltage Ud = 133.77 V;
• from 1500 to 1000 rpm - with angles 6on = 39°, 0oJJ = 69°, Ud = 185.137 V;
• from 1000 to 500 rpm - with 6on = 42°, 6oJf = 72°, Ud = 149.88 V.
The influence of the moment of inertia of the drive of a hermetic piston single-cylinder compressor on the ripples of the rotation speed of the SRM rotor for the range of regulation of the rotation speed of 1:6 at constant angles of commutation is investigated. It is shown that the regulated level of ripple (5n = 20 %) with frequency regulation in the range of 1:3 (3000...1000 rpm) can be provided at the moment of inertia of the drive 5-10-4 kg-m2, in the range of 1:4 (3000...750 rpm) - 1-10-3 kg-m2 (Fig. 3). Increasing the moment of inertia leads to a reduction of ripples and expansion of the range of regulation.

Extension of the range (up to 1:6) under this condition can be implemented:
• for pulsating load of a two-cylinder compressor (Mc(mean) = 0.33 N-m, moment of inertia of the drive 110-3 kg -m2), which provides ripples of frequency in the range of 0.3...12.8 %
• for less than twice the load at steady angles of switching due to a change in supply voltage.
Figure 4 shows the mechanical characteristics of the SRM at constant switching angles (6on = 42°, 6of = 72°) at changing the supply voltage in the range 31...121 V, which makes it possible to regulate the frequency of rotor rotation in the range of 1:6 with periodic load
