Abstract

This paper describes the systematic procedure for designing a MOSFET power converter for an 8/6-switched reluctance machine. Starting from establishing its topology and subsystems, a Matlab simulation approach is initially developed to design its driving circuits, test different converter operating modes, and phase current controllers. Experimental tests are performed to verify the converter functionality and performance, comparing, correcting and discussing the results obtained with simulation analysis.
