Popis: In this paper, simulation, and performance comparison of a switched reluctance motor (SRM) for a classical asymmetric bridge converter and an improved reduced switch converter topology are provided. In an improved converter, switches are shared by adjacent phases, and one diode is connected in series with each phase winding to avoid reversal of current. Double-phase magnetization is adopted for the analysis of both converter topologies. The performance of both converter topologies are demonstrated using a proportional plus integral (PI) based hysteresis current controller and dynamic load on a 7.5 kW, 8/6 pole, 4- phase SRM. Improved reduced switch converter topology uses half the number of switches as compared to the classical asymmetric bridge converter. According to the simulation results, an improved converter offers superior starting and average torque with less speed settling time. An improved converter reduces the most serious problem of torque ripple in SRM by 50% compared to the classical topology. The reduced switches lower the winding losses and improve the efficiency of the drive system.
