Abstract :
This paper describes the design features, drive circuits, and performance of single-phase switched reluctance motors (SRM´s) for low-power variable-speed drives. The main advantages of these motors lie in their simple robust construction, simple control circuitry, and low manufacturing cost. Two prototypes have been built and tested, showing satisfactory performance.
