Question:medium

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

Assume that the motor is running at 600 rpm and the armature terminals 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 two decimal places).


Motor and converter parameters: 

ParameterValue
Rated armature voltage210 V
Rated armature current10 A
Rated speed1200 rpm
Armature resistance1 Ω
Input to converter bridge240 V at 50 Hz

The armature of the DC motor is fed from the full-controlled bridge, and the field current is maintained constant.
