The speed of a 15 hp, 220 V, 1000 rpm DC series motor is controlled using a 1-phase half-
controlled bridge converter. The combined armature and field resistance is 0.2 Ω. Assuming
continuous and ripple free motor current and speed of 1000 rpm and k = 0.03 Nm/A2, determine
(a) motor current (b) motor torque and (c) input power factor for a firing angle α = 30o. AC
voltage is 250 V. Derive any formula used.
Single-Phase Full-Converter Drives
• Converter 1 with α1 < 90o operates the motor in forward motoring mode
(Quadrant 1).
• Converter 1 with α1 > 90o and with field excitation reversed operates the
motor in forward regenerating mode (Quadrant 4).
• Converter 2 with α2 < 90o operates the motor in reverse motoring mode
(Quadrant 3).
• Converter 2 with α2 > 90o and with field excitation reversed operates the
motor in reverse regenerating mode (Quadrant 2).
Chopper Circuits
Control Techniques
Vo = αVs
• Disadvantage of Frequency Modulation Scheme:
– The chopping frequency has to be varied over a wide range
for control of output voltage in frequency modulation.
– Filter design for such wide frequency variation is quite
difficult.
– There is always a chance of interference with signaling and
telephone lines in frequency modulation scheme.
– The large off time in this scheme may make the load
current discontinuous which is undesirable
Current limit control
• The maximum current and minimum current pass through
chopper is determined in order to turn on and turn off it.
• When the current is equal to maximum current limit, the
chopper becomes OFF.
• Similarly when the current reaches at minimum current limit,
the chopper becomes ON.
• The semiconductor switching losses are higher due to high
chopping frequency.
Numerical
• A Chopper circuit is operating on TRC at a frequency
of 2 kHz on a 460 V supply. If the load voltage is 350
volts, calculate the conduction period of the thyristor
in each cycle.
• Input to the step up chopper is 200 V. The output
required is 600 V. If the conducting time of thyristor
is 200 µsec. Compute – Chopping frequency, – If the
pulse width is halved for constant frequency of
operation, find the new output voltage.
