The paper describes an experimental method to identify the equivalent circuit parameters of a switched reluctance motor including non ideal effects associated with the magnetic core. The proposed method avoids the use of large capacitors or batteries to reach values of current that guarantee the saturation of the magnetic core, and minimizes the number of power electronic devices. The experimental parameters identification for the proposed equivalent circuit involves the capture of current and voltage over one phase and one auxiliary winding as well as the later processing of those variables to obtain the magnetic characteristics of the motor. The model has been simulated with the experimentally identified parameters, confirming the effectiveness of the method and the model.
