Advantages of the switched reluctance motor (SRM) drives make it an attractive candidate for replacing many adjustable speed ac and dc drives in both industrial and consumer applications. The simple, low cost and robust SRM drive can be efficiently operated in hostile environments, such as under the hood of an automobile. The purpose of this paper is to introduce the basic SRM drive concept and present some of the recent shaft sensor and current sensor elimination concepts and new converters which have<br/>
been developed to further simplify this motor drive.
