Abstract

The present invention relates to doubly salient reluctance machines (DSRMs) including switched reluctance machines, stepping motors and hybrid stepping motors. To improve the utilization of the machine windings and associated electronic circuits the windings are fully pitched across the stator poles, preferably with each stator slot containing conductors from a single winding only, and the power supply is switched to the windings to provide the required current sequence.
