This unit comprises two parts. In one part, there is a study of reluctance motors and actuators, together with the power electronic circuits required to control them. Both open loop and closed loop control of stepper motors are considered in detail. There is also a short section on DC motor transients, building on the DC machine work studied in depth in year 2. Two subjects are studied 1) power systems and the use of synchronous machines within those systems 2) advanced power supply design including all the main dc-dc topologies and control methods.
