Switched reluctance motor drive converter operating in continuous conduction mode with high demagnetisation voltage

A new switched reluctance motor (SRM) drive converter requiring only one switch per phase with the capability of providing high demagnetisation voltage is presented. To increase the output torque of the SRM drive system, the phase excitation area must be increased; however, during the demagnetisation interval, this would cause the phase current to extend into the negative torque generation area.
