A single-phase full-controlled thyristor converter bridge is used for regenerative braking of a separately excited DC motor with the following specifications:
Rated armature voltage | 210 V |
Rated armature current | 10 A |
Rated speed | 1200 rpm |
Armature resistance | 1 Ω |
Input to the converter bridge | 240 V at 50 Hz |
The armature of the DC motor is fed from the full-controlled bridge and the field current is kept constant.
Assume that the motor is running at 600 rpm and the armature terminals of the motor are suitably reversed for regenerative braking. If the armature current of the motor is to be maintained at the rated value, the triggering angle of the converter bridge in degrees should be __________ (rounded off to 2 decimal places).
The single phase rectifier consisting of three thyristors $$T_1,T_2,T_3$$ and a diode $$D_1$$ feed power to a 10 A constant current load. $$T_1$$ and $$T_3$$ are fired at $$\alpha=60^\circ$$ and $$T_2$$ is fired at $$\alpha=240^\circ$$. The reference for $$\alpha$$ is the positive zero crossing of $$V_{in}$$. The average voltage $$V_0$$ across the load in volts is __________ (Round off to 2 decimal places).
For the ideal AC-DC rectifier circuit shown in the figure below, the load current magnitude is Idc = 15 A and is ripple free. The thyristors are fired with a delay angle of 45$$^\circ$$. The amplitude of the fundamental component of the source current, in amperes, is _________. (round off to two decimal places).
