The use of input capture method to increase torque on switched reluctance motor

Abstract Electric drives are used in many industrial applications, one of these is Switched Reluctance Motor (SRM). Such a motor is used because it has a simple construction, efficient, and low cost. Three-phase switched reluctance motor commonly has some stators and rotors, which is implemented on the asymmetric converter. To operate the Switched Reluctance Motor, an optical encoder or hall-effect sensor will affect motor performance. To improve motor performance, the input capture method is used. Such a method can give accurate commutation angel so the excitation can be given in proper angel and increases torque on SRM. To verify the proposed method, analysis, and experimental tests were done.
