This paper introduces a PC based educational tool for a switched reluctance drive (SRD) with fuzzy logic which is prepared for undergraduate and graduate level students. The paper first describes how the switched reluctance drive system works. Then details are given of how to estimate the flux linkage by using fuzzy set theory. Finally an application of fuzzy logic control to an SRM drive is presented.
