A reluctance motor in which at least one snap ring engages the ends of the exciter coils remote from the stator yoke with radially outward acting spring force.

Reluctance motor with at least two salient poles each provided with an exciter winding, and method for manufacturing the stator of such reluctance motor

A method for controlling a reluctance machine, particularly a switched reluctance machine by use of a torque controller, in which motor windings are switched on as a function of the rotor angular position (&ggr; ) at a switch-on angle (&ggr; ) and are switched off at a commutation angle (&ggr; ) , with the angles being determined as control parameters (i , &ggr; , &ggr; ) , as a function of the rotation speed (n) from stored control coefficients (&ggr; ,c , m , c , c , c , M , p, q) which are read during operation of the reluctance motor, with the commutation angle (&ggr; ) for each rotation speed (n) at least remaing constant or increasing, starting from a maximum value c at a maximum totque (M ) , as the torque values (M ) decrease, and , subsequently, with a winding current preset nominal value (i ) , which is claculated as a control parameter, for the windings (A, B, C) of the reluctance motor being sent to a current regulation device.
