Abstract :
This paper presents the analysis of a new power converter-inverter topology for switched reluctance motor (SRM) drive applications. The SRM is fed from a power converter-inverter system. The current-controlled power converter draws sinusoidal AC currents from the supply mains and maintains them in-phase with the supply voltages, thereby facilitating unity power factor operation
