Advantages

# above-average continuous torque in the base speed range
# extraordinary acceleration capability
# low maintenance
# high holding torque even over extended periods
# high overload capability
# small dimensions
# high operating safety after failure of one or several motor phases
# excellent efficiency over wide speed range
# ruggedness
# negligible rotor temperature rise
# maximum speeds: As the rotor of the switched reluctance motor has no winding and no permanent magnets, it may be subjected to high radial forces which makes the motor ideal for high-speed applications. Since the hysteresis loss rises as the speed increases, low-pole reluctance motors are the best choice for these applications.
