Switched Reluctance Motor The switched reluctance motor is diagrammed as a simplified eight-pole stator and a six-pole rotor machine. Torque is developed by the tendency of a magnetic circuit to adopt a configuration of minimum reluctance (to maximize the magnetic flux). This tendency translates into a rotation of the rotor so that its poles align with the stator's poles. These pole pairs are in turn energized sequentially from a dc source through electronic switches, thereby creating the rotating torque. B. Chowdhury 36
