Course: EPEG 422: Solid State Drives

A separately excited dc motor is supplied from 230V, 50 Hz source through a single phase half wave
controlled converter. Its field is fed through 1-phase semi-converter with zero degree firing angle delay.
Motor resistance ra = 0.7Ω and motor constant = 0.5 V-sec/rad. For rated torque of 15 Nm at 1000 rpm,
determine

a) Firing angle delay of armature converter.

b) Rms value of thyristor, ITr and
freewheeling diode.

Plot the simulation model of half wave

converter on MATLAB Simulink and obtain the
waveform:

1. Source voltage, Vs
2. Armature current, Ia
3. Voltage across load, Vo
4. Gate trigger pulse, Ig for armature and
field circuit.
5. Voltage across thyristor terminal, VT for armature circuit
6. Current across thyristor terminal, It for armature circuit
7. Speed(rad/sec)

Formulas:

Motor torque, Te= Km * Ia

Motor emf, Ea= Km*ωm

For 1 phase half wave converter, Vt = [Vm/2π]*(1+cosα) = Ea+Ia*Ra

ITr = Ia*[(π-α)/2π]1/2

Ifd = Ia*[(π+α)/2π]1/2

Take simulation time= 1 sec.
