This paper proposes a new fault diagnosis method for a switched reluctance machine (SRM) drive system. The proposed fault

diagnosis method is capable of detecting both open circuit and short circuit faults in the power converter switches. In addition, the

position of a short fault in the asymmetric bridge converter can be detected using another proposed method. This fault occurrence

can be identified in the affected motor phase. A simulation is performed with a SRM drive system, and the results are presented to ​

verify the validity of the proposed method.
