Patent ID: 8922153

Claim:
A full-pitch winding switched reluctance motor, comprising: “8×NN 2 ” pieces of stator poles arranged in a range of an electrical angle of 360degrees, wherein the NN 2 is an integer equal to or larger than 1; a back yoke magnetically connecting the stator poles; full-pitch windings for respective phases of the motor, each of the full-pitch windings being arranged between two of the stator poles; two or more rotor salient poles arranged in the range of an electrical angle of 360 degrees; a power converter PA 2 that supplies positive and negative bidirectional currents to at least one of the full-pitch windings; and a power converter PA 3 that supplies one-way currents to other full-pitch windings other than the one full-pitch winding among all the full-pitch windings, wherein commands IFo are obtained to control the windings, the commands commanding two current components to be supplied to two full-pitch windings positioned adjacently to each of the stator poles from both sides thereof in a circumferential direction of the motor.
