A switched reluctance electric motor is disclosed that includes a stator portion having a plurality of stator poles. Adjacent stator poles are wound with energizing windings and which are connected in-series to form a respective one of a plurality of motor phases of the electric motor. A rotor portion of the electric motor is also disclosed, and is supported for rotation relative to the stator, and which also includes a plurality of rotor poles. An electrical conductor having first and second ends is disposed about the adjacent stator poles for each one of the plurality of motor phases. The first and second ends of each electrical conductor are shorted together to thereby minimize induced flux linkages in non-energized motor phases when one of the motor phases is energized.
