VECTOR CONTROL OF SWITCHED RELUCTANCE MOTOR 8/6 USING FUZZY LOGIC CONTROLLER

The Switched Reluctance Motor (SRM) is an old member of the electric machine family. It receives the significant response from industries in the last decade because of its simple structure, ruggedness, high reliability, inexpensive manufacturing capability and high torque - to - mass ratio. The S RM consist a salient pole stator with concentrated coil and salient pole rotor, which have no conductors and magnets. The motor’s doubly salient structure makes its magnetic characteristics highly nonlinear. This work briefly describes the constructional features, principle of operation an d mathematical model of SRM . However the application of SRM has been limited because of their large torque ripple, which produces noise and vibration in the motor.
