The stator winding is comprised of a set of coils, each of which is wound on one pole.

SR motors differ in the number of phases wound on the stator. Each of the m has a certain number of suitable combinations of stator and rotor poles. Lowest construction complexity, many stamped metal elements Like a BLDC or stepper without the magnets High reliability (no brush wear), failsafe for inverter but acoustically noisy High efficiency Motor EMI good but poor EMI from inverter Driven by multi-phase inverter controllers Sensorless speed control possible Higher total system cost than for DC motors Inverter "shoot-through" not possible so higher reliability for automotive Torque ripple can be reduced by advanced control techniques High-speed operation possible High start-up torque
