Assignment 2(A2)
1. A single phase full converter is used to control the speed of a 5hp, 110V, 1200rpm,
separately excited DC motor. The converter is connected to a single phase 120V, 60Hz
supply. The armature resistance is 0.4 and armature circuit inductance is 5mH. The
motor voltage constant K=0.09V/rpm.
a. Rectifier operation: The DC motor runs at 1000rpm, and carries an armature
current of 30A. Assuming ripple free current, determine 1.Firing angle , 2.Power

b. Inverter Operation: The polarity of motor back emf E is reversed, by reversing the
field excitation. Determine 1. Firing angle to keep motor current at 30A at
1000rpm, and 2. The power fed back to the supply at 1000rpm.
2. A 3- full converter is used to control the speed of a 100hp, 600V, 1800rpm, separately
excited DC motor. The converter is operated from 3-, 480V, 60Hz supply. The motor
parameters are Ra=0.1 , and La=0.5mH, K=0.3V/rpm. Rated armature current is 130A.

b. Inverter Operation: The DC machine is operated in regenerative braking mode at
1000rpm and rated motor current. Determine: 1. Firing angle , 2. The power fed
back to the supply, and 3. Supply power factor.
3. A separately excited DC motor is supplied from 230V, 50Hz source, through a single
phase half controlled bridge converter. Its field is fed through single phase semi-converter

Rf=200 . The field winding is connected to a 1-phase, 400V source through a single
phase full converter with firing angle = 00. The armature converter is also connected to
the same supply through a single phase full converter. The motor constant is 0.5V-sec/Arad. For ripple free armature and field currents, determine:
i. Rated armature current
ii. Firing angle of armature converter at full load
iii. Speed regulation at full load
iv. Input power factor of the armature converter and the drive at rated load
