Abstract
This paper gives the design procedure and testing results of an economical unipolar inverter circuit together with a simple but reliable position transducer had been used to drive a 2-Phase variable reluctance disc motor. The prototype switching circuit has one bipolar power transistor per phase and an external resistor for dumping the stored magnetic energy. The different components of the main switching circuit, the interface circuit, the control login circuit and the electronic protection circuit have been worked out. The running performance of this drive system has been investigated through several experimental results. Different torque-speed characteristics are shown to be obtainable by controlling both switch-on angle and conduction angle, The overall performance of the system is still rather poor but it is considered to be satisfactory for this stage of development.
