The Switched Reluctance Motor (SRM) is one of the oldest types of electric motors. SRMs have high torque fluctuations as they have a salient pole structure. The popularity of Switched Reluctance Motors has increased in recent years due to their simple structure, ruggedness, reliability, as well as being inexpensive to manufacture and having a high torque to mass ratio. However, there are some disadvantages, such as high torque ripple, noise and the need for an advanced control system. So they are not extensively used in industry. This study focused on the torque ripple and the speed control aspects. Here, the two most popular and similar Switched Reluctance Motors with regard to motor size, called the 6/4 and 8/6 SRM, have been compared according to the dynamic behavior of their motor parameters. Also, the converters, loads and given power values are the same for the two motor systems. The motor parameters were controlled via MatLab Simulink software. Although the 6/4 and 8/6 models are identical and have the same power converters systems and position sensors, they show different motor behavior due to their dissimilar magnetic structures.
