Abstract

Switched reluctance motor (SRM) drives have received considerable attention over the past few years in the ever-growing market of adjustable speed motor drives (ASMDs). A rugged structure and modular magnetic configuration along with relatively high-grade performance indices are among the advantages of the SRM drive. In addition, the absence of magnetic sources (i.e., windings or permanent magnets) on the rotor make SRM relatively easy to cool and insensitive to high temperatures (see Figure 20.1). The latter is of prime interest in automotive applications, which demand operation under harsh ambient conditions.
