Abstract :
A cost-effective three-phase flux reversal machine (FRM) drive topology, which consists of four main switches with bootstrap gate control circuitry, is proposed. A design guide for a proper profile of bootstrap charging and discharging voltages is proposed by considering the switching sequence for four-switch drives. The proposed design scheme, which considers the switching sequence of a four-switch drive, is verified by a laboratory prototype 100 W FRM.
