Claim 9:
10. A sensorless reliable control system for a high rotor pole switched reluctance machine (HRSRM), comprising:
a stator phase energizing module to excite at least one of a plurality of stator phases each having a winding;
a current and time measuring module to measure a current value through the at least one energized stator phase and time taken by the current value to reach a preset or pre-determined threshold of current, wherein each of the windings of the rest of the plurality of stator phases is in an open circuit state;
a self-inductance determining module to determine and store a self-inductance value for the at least one energized stator phase;
a rotor position estimation module to estimate a rotor position utilizing the stored self-inductance value; and
a control module to control the HRSRM based on the estimated rotor position.
