1. A method for controlling current in a switched reluctance motor by changing a dwell state, the motor receiving power in the range of 9 to 16 Volts DC, the method comprising:

  • measuring current in the motor;

    comparing the measured current to a first threshold; and

    changing the dwell state from a first state to a second state if the measured current exceeds the first threshold.
