Rectifier control of dc series motor :
1-φ controlled rectifier fed d.c. series motors are employed in fraction. The waveforms of
Va, ia and instantaneous back emf e for continuous conduction are shown in fig.
In steady state although the fluctuations in speed are negligible, e is not constant but
fluctuates with ia. At a constant speed, e is related to ia through magnetization curve of
motor, which is no linear because of saturation.
∴ e = f (i a ).ω m
Motor operation can be described by the following eq in duty interval
di
Duty interval Vm sin ωt = Ra i a + La a + f (i a )ω m α ≤ ωt ≤ π
dt
d
Freewheeling interval 0 = Ra i a + La in + f (i a )ω m for π ≤ ωt ≤ (π + α )
dt
The above equations are non linear differential eq.
If we replace e by its average value Ea.
Ea = K aω m
K a = f (I a )
V a = E a + I a Ra ; τ = Ka Ia − (1)

Since back emf decreases with armature current, discontinuous conduction occurs only in
narrow range. Hence it will be neglected.
