Switched reluctance motor system, and method of controlling switched reluctance motor system

A method of controlling a switched reluctance motor system,

• the switched reluctance motor system including a rotor including a plurality of salient poles, a stator including a plurality of salient poles, coils of three phases wound around the salient poles of the stator, and an electronic control unit configured to drive the switched reluctance motor in a pole configuration pattern in which the salient poles of the stator that have different polarities are alternately arranged,
• the method comprising
• performing, by the electronic control unit, current waveform control when an excitation sound frequency of a given order coincides with a resonance frequency of the switched reluctance motor,
• the given order being at least one of an order that is a least common multiple of the number of the salient poles of the stator and the number of salient poles of the rotor, and an order that is an integral multiple of a product of the number of the salient poles of the rotor and the number of phases of the coils,
• the current waveform control being a control that controls current waveforms produced when current is passed through the coils of the three phases, such that a current waveform in the coils of at least one phase has a different shape from a current waveform in the coils of another phase.
