Abstract

A multi-phase switched reluctance motor is driven from a tow-point d.v. supply (11) in which capacitors (12) and (13) are provided across the supply with their common point (14) constituting a third power supply point. The load windings W.sub.1, W.sub.3, W.sub.5 and W.sub.2, W.sub.4, W.sub.6 are connected in two different load circuits connected across the different capacitors. In order to prevent the voltage of the third point wandering because the currents in the the two load circuits are not the same, control means (21) can control the distribution of current between the various load windings by appropriate control of semi-conductor switches in the various load circuits.
