The design consideration of the starting device installed in single-phase switched reluctance motor

Generally a single-phase SRM (switched reluctance motor) has several stator and rotor poles hut these are excited by one regulated current at the same time. It has only one inductance variation. It means that the positive torque is only generated in the positive slope of the inductance variation. Therefore, the single-phase SRM can not be started by itself. The single-phase SRM is required the starting device which is placed the rotor at the positive slope of the inductance variation. The selecting method of the starting device used in single-phase SRM is suggested on this paper.
