ON-PULSE TRANSITION TIMES FOR PULSED CONTROLLED ELECTRIC MACHINES USING BOOST VOLTAGES

Various boost circuits that are used to improve or reduce the time needed to transition an electric machine from an off-state to an on-state at the start of a next pulse during pulsed controlled operation. With these various boost circuits, the naturally generated Back Electromotive Force or “BEMF” that is induced when an electrical machine transitions from the on state to the off state at the end of an on pulse is harvested, rectified, and stored on a storage device. The harvested energy is then made available to the electric machine as a “boost” voltage at the onset of the next on pulse, resulting in a reduced transition time from the off-state to the on-state.
