Construction and testing of a battery driven variable-reluctance drive inverter / Ambrose Yahya Fenner

This thesis describes the construction and testing of a new battery driven variable reluctance (VR) drive inverter. The motor being brushless and robust is a good replacement for conventional D.C. motor that has commutator and brushes that effectively limit its operating life to a few hundreds of ho...
