Now a day’s switched reluctance motor (SRM) is getting attention from various industries due to its simple construction, robustness, low cost manufacturing and reliability. In this paper, single switch and double switch drive for a 6/4 switched reluctance motor has been simulated and analysed with the help of MATLAB/Simulink. SRM drives are controlled by synchronizing the energization of motor phases with the rotor position. These two switching methods are compared in terms of current, torque and speed.
