Abstract

A switched reluctance motor includes: a stator provided with a plurality of stator teeth as salient poles in a radial fashion with winding wire wound around each of the plurality of stator teeth; a rotor provided with a plurality of rotor teeth as salient poles in a radial fashion; a driving circuit configured to apply a current to the winding wire for each phase; and a control device configured to control the driving circuit, the control device being configured to perform: starting rising of a current to the winding wire of a stator tooth of a phase being a non-excitation target due to stop of energization to the winding wire; and allowing the current applied to the winding wire of the stator tooth of a phase being an excitation target to fall.
