Abstract

A single-phase reluctance motor in which the excitation pulse timings and lengths are controlled as a function of the speed by means of, in particular, a microprocessor; mechanical provisions are made in order to ensure reliable starting of the motor and special starting pulses are generated by means of a simple motor-position sensor which generates two pulses per revolution.
