Abstract
Starting and reversing times of less than 40 ms, torque ripple below ten pe rcent and operational speeds over 5000 1/min. (rpm) can be achieved with ou r 6/4 prototype switched reluctance motor drive. The drive efficiency appro aches 80 percent but it is currently limited by high switching frequency. P eak currents of 50 A are needed in the 4.2 kW machine. Experimental results of the prototype switched reluctance machine are shown.
