In this study, a single‐phase three‐level power factor correction (PFC) rectifier fed switched reluctance motor (SRM) drive is proposed for improving the power quality at ac mains. The asymmetry in the dc‐link capacitors voltages of the midpoint converter fed SRM drive is improved by using a single‐phase three‐level PFC rectifier. This PFC rectifier configuration uses two active semiconductor switches, an inductor and operates as a boost PFC rectifier. The proposed single‐phase three‐level PFC rectifier fed SRM drive is designed, modelled and its performance is simulated in MATLAB/Simulink. The simulated performance of the proposed single‐phase three‐level PFC rectifier fed SRM drive is experimentally validated for dc‐link capacitors voltage balancing and power quality improvement.
