In an SR motor, torque is produced when:

Option 1: Rotor flux is maximum

Option 2: Rotor moves from aligned to unaligned position

Option 3: Rotor moves from unaligned to aligned position

Option 4: Current is zero


Correct Option: 3

Explanation

Torque is produced only when phase inductance increases. This occurs when the rotor moves from unaligned to aligned position with the energized stator pole, producing positive reluctance torque.
