The paper gives a variable angle pulse width modulation (PWM) adjustable-speed control strategy for four-phase 8/6 structure Switched Reluctance motor drive and introduces the developed prototype. Taking a four-phase 8/6 structure prototype for example, the variable angle PWM adjustable-speed control strategy is compared with the fixed angle PWM adjustable-speed control strategy that the turn-on angle of the main switches is fixed at -7.50 and the turn-off angle of the main switches is fixed at 22.50. It is shown that the four-phase 8/6 structure Switched Reluctance motor drive using the novel PWM control strategy has low peak value of phase current, high efficiency and the fixed switching frequency value of the main switches over the low rotor speed range.
