| Abstract |
We propose a novel drive circuit for switched
reluctance (SR) motors, which can be constructed using
general 3-phase power modules without external inductors
or devices. This drive method has several advantages
including low cost, high efficiency, and compactness. It is
simulated on SPICE, including the controller, and some
control algorithms and the driving performances have been
investigated. Then, we developed the new drive circuit for a
6/4 SR motor using a conventional 3-phase power module
such as Intelligent Power Module (IPM), the results of the
experiments demonstrated that our proposed method is
available technology. |
