The　advantages　of　switched　reluctance　motor(SRM)　are　obvious,　and　it　applies　to　more　and　more　industries.　However,　the　torque　ripple　is　more　serious　than　other　kinds　of　motors,　so　the　control　strategy　of　SRM　is　very　important.　As　a　kind　of　variable　structure　nonlinear　control,　sliding　mode　control　is　widely　used.　In　this　paper,　the　torque　controller　in　indirect　torque　control(ITC)　strategy　is　implemented　with　sliding　mode　control.　Through　the　stability　analysis　of　ideal　conditions　and　parameter　perturbation,　the　selection　of　controller　parameters　is　given.　Finally,　the　controller　is　verified　by　simulation　and　experiment.　The　simulation　and　experiment　show　that　the　controller　can　effectively　track　the　real-time　changing　torque　instruction,　and　the　tracking　effect　is　good.　©　2022　IEEE.
