Abstract
A switched reluctance machine has salient poles on the stator and rotor. The windings of the machine are supplied from a converter which provides energization at a chosen rate. The windings of the machine may be energized at the rate at which the rotor poles pass the stator poles, or it may be operated at a fraction of that rate by energizing the windings to cooperate with every second, third or fourth rotor pole. This can extend the output of the machine.
