Steady-state analysis of a current source inverter/reluctance motor driveߞ Part I: Analysis

The steady-state solution of a reluctance motor supplied from a current source inverter is obtained using state variable techniques. Closed-form solutions for the instantaneous motor phase voltages, rotor currents as well as the instantaneous and average component of the electromagnetic torque are derived. From the solution contained herein, all of the important performance characteristics of this type of drive can be calculated.
