This paper presents reduced switch converter and its current control for switched reluctance motor. Owing to reduction in switch count gate drive requirement is reduced. Switching losses also gets reduced. The schematic and working proposed converter is presented. Simulation model of proposed topology and control is built using MATLAB/SIMULINK and torque, speed, three phase stator current results were presented. Comparative analysis of conventional asymmetrical converter with proposed novel converter is presented in terms of number of components, gate driver units, switching losses and volume of heat sink requirement.
