The three-phase synchronous reluctance motor (SynRM) is presented as a possible alternative in all-electric ship applications. The\r\nbasic features of this motor with regard to the other types of motors are shown. The structure of the motor and specifically the\r\nstructure of its rotor are analyzed, while the basic operating principles are presented and references on commonly used control\r\nstrategies are made. In this paper, a demonstration of a reluctance motor fed by a voltage source inverter (VSI) takes place. To\r\ndemonstrate the operation of the motor fed by a VSI, an example using a scalar control method is implemented, where harmonic\r\ninjection PWM (HIPWM) is used to drive the VSI. Experimental results on a commercially available motor are shown, focusing\r\non the harmonic content of the current.
