Abstract
The variable-reluctance motor is a direct derivation of the single-stack VR stepper motor. In general, brushless DC(BLDC) motors are multi-phase motors with a position sensor used to switch the current at the right time in each phase. From the control point of view, the VR motor is very similar to a DC brushless motor and so it can be driven by a DC brushless motor controller. This paper describes the application of DC brushless Motorola controller MC33035 and MC33039 for driving VR motor up to 5kw. The controller is used to drive a singly-salient VR motor with flux guided rotor.
