Abstract :
A configuration of a unipolar power converter with improved switching performance suitable for switched-reluctance motor supply is presented. The switched-reluctance motor operation principle is presented and its ideal characteristics are considered. The proposed converter is described and its operation is analyzed. The converter characteristics are studied with the aid of computer simulation. Current control of the proposed converter is considered. A prototype converter has been built to verify the analysis results and to validate the simulation. The design procedure is presented and experimental results which confirm the analysis are given and discussed
