Forward converters for dual voltage switched reluctance motor drives

    Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

    Abstract

    A new circuit is presented which allows a switched reluctance motor to operate from ac mains or a low voltage battery supply. In addition the ac mains can be used to charge the battery. The switched reluctance motor is used as the voltage-changing transformer, potentially reducing the cost of the system. The operation of the drive is explained, and results of an experimental prototype are presented.
