The purpose of this paper is to present an efficient converter circuit used to drive switched reluctance motors. It uses the C-dump topology in which the trapped energy in the phase windings is returned to the supply capacitor to be used in the following strokes. In addition to the C-dump topology, it uses two extra feedbacks. One comes from a governor mounted on the shaft of motor which contro...

The design preciseness, the material used in productivity plus the time are coming the most important factors in motor manufacturing. Consequently, the use of interior permanent magnet synchronous machines (IPM) in hybrid vehicle seemed to be the best demands. However, and due to the earth magnet materials increasing prices such as Dysprosium and Neodymium, automobile manufacturers have looked ...
