7.1 Introduction
Switched-reluctance machines (SRM) have resurfaced in the eld of adjustable speed motor drives over
the past three decades. is has been mainly contributed to enabling technologies and devices oered by
power electronics, the semiconductor industry, and cost-eective microprocessors. Being complemented
by a rugged structure (see Figure 7.1) suitable for harsh environmental conditions and high-speed appli-
cations, a brushless structure that requires minimum maintenance, and a wide constant power region at
an aordable cost has turned SRM into a prime candidate for niche industrial and domestic applications.
