A switched Reluctance motor (SRM) has several desirable features, including
simple construction, high reliability and low cost. However, it suffers from large torque
ripple, highly non-uniform torque output and magnetization characteristics and large noise.
Several studies have succeeded in torque ripple reduction for SRM using Direct Torque
Control (DTC) technique. DTC method has many advantages over conventional voltage
control and current chopping mode control such as simple algorithm, less torque ripple and
instantaneous response to the torque command. In this paper, DTC method is proposed for
a 5-phase 10/8 SRM. The performance of the motor is demonstrated through the computer
simulation in Mtalab/Simulink. Then, the obtained results are verified by comparison with
the corresponding results of a 3-phase 6/4 motor performance.
