Five-Phase Switched Reluctance Machine Control

This example shows how to control the rotor speed in a five-phase switched reluctance machine (SRM) based electrical drive. A DC voltage source feeds the SRM through a controlled five-arm bridge. The converter turn-on and turn-off angles are held constant.
