Abstract :
This paper presents a low cost switched reluctance drive with single-phase configuration. Generally, the single-phase switched reluctance machine (SRM) cannot produce a continuous positive torque over one revolution. Hence the machine cannot start from every rotor position. This problem is solved with a saturation-based starting method. The basic principles of this method, experimental results, as well as a new strategy for a fast start up are introduced.
