Switched reluctance motors are among the finest competitors to induction motors. It is a well-liked choice because of its durability, brevity, straightforward design, and superior torque to mass ratio. Currents in the stator winding of a switching reluctance motor have a direct impact on the torque generated. A large negative voltage must be offered in order to quickly stop the current while it is working in the demagnetizing phase. This research work analyzes the C-dump converter’s design. The C-Dump converter makes it possible for the phase winding to be rapidly demagnetized and magnetised, which prevents the motor from being used in the generating state. Switched reluctance motors demonstrate a variety of converter topologies for adjusting speed, power, and operation. Additionally, it frequently makes use of the energy that has accumulated in the phase winding and can be returned to the source. Some modified C-Dump converter topologies can utilise this stored energy to bypass the motor’s next phase winding.
