ABSTRACT:
A switched reluctance drive is controlled without using a physical rotor position detector. The control method causes current to flow continuously in a single winding when the rotor is turning and detects position by finding either the peak of the current waveform or some other feature which can be uniquely related to the position of the rotor.
