In this study, a novel converter arrangement for switching reluctance motor (SRM) drive is presented. Comparing the proposed novel converter to the standard asymmetrical type of converter arrangement for switched reluctance motor, it insists on fewer switches. Reducing the switch count in a converter improves system performance by reducing losses, the size of the heat sink, and the number of gate drive circuits. This work demonstrated closed loop speed control of switching reluctance motor fed from proposed innovative converter topology. The effectiveness of closed loop and open loop systems are contrasted. Additionally, the suggested converter for the SRMT is assessed in loaded conditions, and a comparison of the no-load and loaded SRM is shown. MATLAB/SIMULINK software is used to create the presented model and analyse the outcomes. At fixed speed and variable speed situations, the suggested novel converter fed switched reluctance motor drive's closed loop performance is confirmed.
