Abstract
A novel control strategy is described which enables full servomotor performance to be achieved from a synchronously-commutated, variable reluctance motor. Pulsewidth modulation techniques are used to overcome the problems associated with the inherent non-linearities of the machine. The performance of the drive with regard to smooth, low speed rotation, static torsional stiffness and rapid reversal of rotation is found to equal, or excel, that of conventional dc and brushless servosystems thus introducing the variable reluctance machine as a new, high performance servodrive.
