Abstract
A method of operating an electrical machine having first and second phase windings. The method includes: (1) applying positive first current to the first phase winding while the first phase winding's back electromotive force (emf) is positive; (2) applying negative second current to the first phase winding while the first phase winding's back emf is negative; and (3) applying positive third current to the second phase winding while the second phase winding's back emf is positive. The first current is conducted through a circuit composed of a battery, the first phase winding, and a first switch. The second current is conducted through a circuit composed of a first capacitive storage element, the battery, the first phase winding, and a second switch, and the third current is conducted through a circuit composed of the battery, the second phase winding, and a third switch.
