Abstract
This paper presents an optimal RCD snubber design for switched reluctance machines
(SRM) drives based on conventional asymmetric and bidirectional converters. The main objective is
to improve the performance of drive in wide speed range of operations by reducing the switching
power loss using well designed RCD snubber. In order to evaluate the performance of the designed
snubber circuit, the effectiveness of the proposed design is validated by both the simulation and
experimental results for different operating speeds.
