Reducing Switching Losses in Switched Reluctance Motor (SRM) Starting System

ABSTRACT: In this paper, switching losses in Miller convertor of switched reluctance motor (SRM) are studied and a solution is presented for it. Switching losses are reduced with zero voltage or zero current switching. In this paper, switching losses are reduced in the system by presenting a new snubber circuit. After analyzing the desired circuit using software, the desired circuits were simulated. Simulation results confirm switching losses reduction in driving circuit of switched reluctance motor.
