ABSTRACT
PRACTICAL ISSUES WITH PWM CONVERTER MOTOR DRIVES
13.1. INTRODUCTION
Induction (IM), permanent magnet a.c. (PM-SM), reluctance synchronous (RSM) and switched reluctance (SRM) motors are brushless multiphase motors fed through PWM voltage-source converters (PECs) with bipolar and, respectively (for SRM), unipolar current capability. In all these drives, the line side converter is (still), in general, a diode rectifier with a d.c. link filter capacitor.
