| Abstract |
The paper describes a procedure for computing the losses in the switching circuit of power electronic converter of the switched reluctance drive, which is applicable to various modes of control. Using the analysis it is possible, for a specified set of operating conditions of a given switched reluctance motor, topology of the switching circuit and type of power semiconductor devices, to quantify the converter losses and motor copper losses and to investigate the quantitative relationships between losses for various values of the parameter associated with a particular mode of control, such as current hysteresis in the current PWM mode, or modulation frequency in the voltage PWM mode. |
