Renewable energy sources supplied motor applications are being studied widely by researchers. As it is especially focused on design and control of such systems, studies on performance analysis approach is limited. It is vital to determine the operating behaviour of motor loads when they are supplied by limited energy sources like photovoltaic (PV) systems. According to this necessity, in this study, a switched reluctance motor (SRM) which is supplied by a PV system is analysed in terms of speed, current and torque data. Because of its advantages as it can be controlled over a wide range, its reliability and stability, SRM was used for analysis. Such data are observed in two cases, PV system irradiance change and fault conditions. System is designed as direct-fed, which is not include any storage unit. Therefore, any changes at supply system directly affect motor parameters. These effects and results are discussed by using the graphs that obtained from various points of system for both cases.
