Abstract :
The authors present commutation schemes for the most common types of switched reluctance motors (SRMs). These schemes permit the realization of four-quadrant multimode SR motor drive operation with a simple logic control and with position feedback from low-resolution position sensors. A case study of a four-quadrant SR drive with multimode operation for a three-phase motor with six stator and four rotor poles is used to illustrate the method used in deriving the commutation schemes
