This invention relates to the field of
switched reluctance motor drive control technology, specifically a short-
tail topology circuit and control strategy suitable for driving switched reluctance motors. This invention solves the problems of large
torque ripple and significant axial and radial
noise caused by existing
switched reluctance motor drive control circuits. A short-
tail topology circuit suitable for driving switched reluctance motors includes a
switched reluctance motor, an additional bridge arm, and an N-phase
inverter bridge arm; wherein the windings of the switched
reluctance motor are star-connected N-phase windings; the additional bridge arm is composed of a freewheeling
diode and a power switch connected in series; the midpoint of the additional bridge arm is connected to the neutral point of the N-phase winding; the midpoint of the N-phase
inverter bridge arm is connected one-to-one with the leads of the N-phase winding; the N-phase
inverter bridge arms together constitute an N-phase inverter. This invention is applicable to electric vehicles,
agricultural machinery, heavy machinery, mining machinery, flight equipment, home appliances, military facilities, and other fields.
