Abstract :
An analysis of the control characteristics of a switched reluctance motor drive is performed taking into account the saturation of the magnetic circuit of the motor. The drive operation is described, the control variables and the related ranges are identified, the relationships between the average torque and such variables are calculated, and the torque capability is found. Both the current-source supply and the voltage source supply of the motor are considered. Schemes for speed control are also presented
