Lecture 21 : Switch reluctance motors, their configurations and optimization

It is evident from equation 12 that the rotor current iedr will decay to zero and stay at zero regardless of other transients that may be taking place. Hence, the torque (from equation 2 ) is given by

Together, equation 19 and equation 21 suggest the generic rotor flux oriented control shown in Figure 2 .
