Abstract

This paper presents the analysis of steady-state performance of a DC motor fed by a non-isolated quadratic DC-DC boost converter. The proposed quadratic configuration based non-isolated high voltage gain DC-DC converter operating in continuous conduction mode employs one power switch and reduced number of diodes and passive components. Due to single power switch, the switching and conduction losses are reduced thereby improving the converter efficiency. A DC shunt motor of 5 HP power rating is used as load to the proposed converter. The proposed cost-effective converter-fed DC motor operating under no-load is simulated using MATLAB / SIMULINK tool. The steady-state performance characteristics, such as speed, torque, and armature current of the DC motor, are obtained for one particular value of duty ratio of the power switch. The results validate the superior performance of the suggested DC-DC converter-fed DC motor at moderate duty ratio.
