Reluctance step motors are the electromechanical componets to engineering applications stems from their low cost, reliability and controllability. Because torque depends only on the square of the applied stator currents and not on their direction, these machines can be operated from unidirectional drive systems, reducing the cost of the power electronics. The paper deals with mathematical and dynamic model of the reluctance step motor. The model was realised under the assumption that motor works in linear part of magnetization characteristic. the dynamic model was realised by means of the Matlab-Simulink program.
