Steady-state analysis of a current source inverter/reluctance motor driveߞ Part II: Experimental and analytical results

The steady-state solution of a reluctance motor supplied from a current source inverter, derived in Part I, is compared with both experimental and simulation results. The calculated results from closed form expressions for instantaneous motor line voltage and current are compared to results obtained from experiment. Correlation of internal machine variables is obtained using simulation techniques. Effects of current source operation on important design parameters such as average and pulsating components of electromagnetic torque, stator and rotor copper losses are calculated and discussed.
