Abstract
Enormous amounts of power electronics drives are being used in the industry nowadays. Authors find wide applications of Switched Reluctance Motor (SRM) drives in industry, office automation and appliances. This paper deals with the literature survey on the converter topologies of switched reluctance motor drives. The switched reluctance motor is famous for its fault tolerance and good dynamic response. One of the main aspects of the research in switched reluctance motor drives is the converter design. The performance and the cost of the SRM drive are highly affected by performance of the converters. Although a number of converters have emerged over the years for Switched Reluctance Motor drives. There has always been a trade-off between gaining some of the advantages and losing some with each new topology. The selection of a converter, in most of the cases, depends upon the application. Attempt is made to provide a guidance and quick reference for the researchers and practicing engineers, those are working in the area of converter topologies for Switched Reluctance Motor drives.
