State-of-the-Art High-Speed Switched Reluctance Machines

High speed machines are being used in an increasing number of applications. Low cost and fault tolerance enables the vision of switched reluctance machines providing greater value to a variety of industries in the future. This paper presents the state of the art of high speed switched reluctance machines. Machines which operate above 20,000RPM have been classified as high speed for this work. The research work presented investigates machines and their drives ranging from 100W to 300kW.
