This paper proposes and describes an integrated battery charger configuration for a switched‐reluctance motor (SRM) drive to be used in electric vehicles such as electric motorcycles. The proposed configuration can share switching devices, inductors (motor‐phase winding inductance), and a control board with the SRM drive. Moreover, it can be operated as a buck–boost converter, a buck converter, a boost converter, or a cascade buck–boost converter. In addition, for improved efficiency, additional high‐frequency (small size) inductors can be added to the converter circuit to replace the inductors of the motor's winding coils. A 500‐W 220‐V experimental system was designed, constructed, and tested based on a 32‐bit digital signal processor (TMS320F28027) with the use of SiC and Si MOSFETs as switching devices. © 2017 Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan.
