Abstract :
This paper presents a novel converter topology for 6- phase Switched Reluctance Motor (SRM) drives, which needs no additional energy storage elements with reduced number of components. Compared with an asymmetric half bridge converter, the novel converter reduces the number of switches, diodes, and connections between motor and converter to half. A dynamic model of a 12/10 SRM is developed in Matlab/Simulink environment. Simulation results show that compared to asymmetric half bridge converter the novel converter can produce the same torque ripple at low speed with less loss at high speed.
