The modern switched reluctance (SR) motor drive is becoming attractive for electric vehicle (EV) propulsion because of its low system cost, robust machine structure, reliable converter topology, control simplicity, and high efficiency. This chapter discusses the SR motor drives, including their system configurations, SR machines, SR converters, and control strategies. It provides the corresponding design criteria, design examples, and application examples for EV propulsion. In general, the SR motor drive consists of four main components: the SR machine, SR converter, sensor, and controller. Differing from other AC machines, the SR machine produces torque, which is independent of the current polarity. As the principle of operation of the SR motor is fundamentally different from that of the conventional AC motors, the chapter describes the corresponding speed control schemes. Then, in order to alleviate the major drawback of the SR motor, relatively large torque ripples; the torque‐ripple minimization (TRM) control is discussed.
