Abstract

A study of unipolar converters suitable for feeding switched reluctance motors is presented. Voltage-source and current-source configurations are considered, and the commutation process is analyzed for each scheme. A comparative study of two operation schemes is given. Regardless the converter configuration, the same trade-off between commutation time and voltage stress imposed on the power switches remains. A current-controlled converter configuration representing a compromise between the two feeding schemes is proposed and studied in detail. Experimental results are presented to validate the theoretical analysis.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
