Switched reluctance machine (SRM) has progressed as a suitable contender in the family of electrical machines for its high starting torque and better performance in different operating conditions. The need for accurate modeling of this machine is, therefore, dependent on the accurate determination of losses of which iron loss is exigent. This article aims to determine iron loss from the equivalent circuit parameters of the machine based on the input data tables that are directly obtained from the experiments carried out on an existing four-phase, bifilar wound SRM. The procedure and necessary steps for the loss separation method are well defined and supported by the theoretical and practical results. The experimental determination of the iron losses has been compared with the predicted results under the same operating conditions.
