Abstract - This paper presents the idea of manufacturing and fabricating a controller for four phase, 8/6 poles switched reluctance motor (SRM). The experimental results drawn from this controller are showing that the efficiency is a function of the applied voltage to the stator winding due to load variation, and found the best applied voltage that produced a better efficiency by this system is 85 VDC. The speed reaches 3070 RPM by this controller; the main focus of this paper is the role of the controller. Zero reference proximity switch, absolute encoder, the electronic cam positioner, the classic converter, (10 – 150) VDC main supply and the mentioned motor have been employed to perform this drive system.
