This paper presents four reduced switch count six-phase AC motor drives. The configurations were conceived to operate without the use of the boost inductor filter. The drive systems provide both bidirectional power flow and power factor control. The paper presents the operating principles and control strategies of the topologies. Experimental and simulation results are presented.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
