Abstract: In this paper a comparative study of CSI fed BLDC motor using Boost and Buck Converter are presented. Traditionally BLDC motor drives are fed by Voltage Source Inverters (VSI). Current Source Inverters (CSI) on the other hand does not require the huge DC link capacitor thereby reducing the cost and losses in the system. The large value of the inductor can be replaced using suitable Boost and Buck converter. In this paper a basic structure of a DC boost converter and a basic structure of a DC buck converter are proposed in PSIM to provide the nominal power to BLDC motor from a fixed DC source and to control the speed of the system. The effectiveness of proposed system is validated by simulation results.
