In profound applications like photovoltaic systems, smart lighting systems and automobile sector, high gain DC-DC converters are pioneered to step-up the low voltage level to high voltage. Classical Boost converter is limited with its voltage gain owing to the efficiency of the system and current ripples. This paper presents a genre of Symmetrical Hybrid Switched Inductor Boost converter powered from a solar photovoltaic system for high step-up voltage conversion ratio. The topological root of the Symmetrical Hybrid Switched Inductor Boost converter is from the combination of active and passive units. The converter is analyzed, compared with existing topologies and details are presented. The Symmetrical Hybrid Switched Inductor Boost converter output is connected to Switched Reluctance Motor to drive the wheels of an electric vehicle. The coils of 6/4 SRM is fed from Asymmetrical converter. The proposed system is analyzed and results are shown using MATLAB/SIMULINK software.
