Simulation of a 6/4 switched reluctance motor based on Matlab/Simulink environment

A Matlab/Simulink environment to simulate a 6/4-switched reluctance motor is described. From its linear model to the nonlinear model, its dynamics is described and discussed in detail. All simulations are completely documented by their block diagrams and corresponding special Matlab functions and parameters quickly develop its model to the reader. Based on the developed model, simulation studies are performed and compared with measured motor phase currents either for hysteresis and voltage control strategies, and the steady-state motor operation to validate the model.
