Hello together,

i want to know how it is possible to modelling the phase of an switched reluctance motor for circuit simulation. I have to develop a cicuit which is able to controll the dc link voltage but i have no idea how to simulate the coils of the srm. How can i put an equivalent model of the coils in my simulation. An inductor is not correct because the srm has no constant inductance. The inductance of a srm is denpendent on the angle position.

Thank for your help

Don't know which simulator you use, but for LTspice there is a behavioural model which may be useful.
Here's what the Help says :-
"There are two forms of non-linear inductors available in LTspice. One is a behavioral inductance specified with an expression for the flux. The inductor's current is referred to by the keyword "x" in the expression. Below is an example in a netlist.
L1 N001 0 Flux=1m*tanh(5*x) "
