The unipolar drive circuit of a three phase variable reluctance stepper motor used for positioning a valve is shown in 
The motor has the following parameters :
Winding resistance (RW) = 0.6 Ω Winding inductance (LW)=0.24 mH.
Rated current = 5 A he stepping rate = 450 steps/sec
Design the drive circuit such that the electrical time constant is 1.5 ms at turn-on and 0.8 ms at turn-off.
We want to find out the R(ext) value using T (on)=Lw/Rw+R(ext)
But after i calculate R(ext)=-0.44Ω(resistance do not have negative value) something wrong!!
somebody help me solve thank
