Design and Control of SRM For LSEV Drive

This paper presents an application of SRM drive for LSEV(Low Speed Electric Vehicle). In this paper, a 5[kW] SRM for a traction of a LSEV is to design and investigate the characteristics of the drive system. The main design parameters and control strategy are given In the control method, a current control, for the soft-starting technique at a starting operation, is adopted In the high speed range, an angle control technique is implemented, for a high efficiency drive of SRM Some experimental tests are executed to find the drive performances
