Abstract :
Several inverter power circuits suitable for switched reluctance motor (SRM) drives are analyzed and compared. Five inverter circuits are considered with the objective of establishing the most appropriate topology for an SRM drive. The comparison is based on the peak voltage and peak current ratings of the DC link components. Because the power converter choice depends on the motor design, the converter analysis and selection are done for a high-speed, 6/2 SRM suitable for a spindle drive and a high-torque 8/6 motor. Experimental results obtained for a high-torque drive are included.
