Supplying switched reluctance, transversal flux machines with integral commutation, involves passing magnetic energy between windings with assistance from induced voltages

The method involves using a self-controlled inverter with a DC intermediate circuit for excitation of unipolar stator currents, with an adjustable phase angle in the winding paths to the machine. The magnetic energy required to generate torque is passed on from one winding path to the next, with at least partial assistance from the voltages induced in the winding path by flux changes.
