A new C-dump converter for performance improvement of SR motor drive: conceptual considerations and simulations

In the article a new type of the C-dump converter type was presented, it was intended to supply switched reluctance drives, which is a modification of the configuration introduced in [1]. A structure and a principle of its working were discussed. In this construction independent supplying sections for each motor phase were used. Differences in construction and working both of the configurations and their influence on efficiency of the drive were discussed. Model results of simulation calculations of electromagnetic torque and phase current waveforms were presented. Applying the new system caused the increase in the efficiency of the drive.
