1. A single-phase, full-wave, half-controlled rectifier is used to control the speed of a small
separately-excited d.c. motor rated at 4.5 kW, 220 V, 1500 rpm. The converter is connected
to a single-phase 220 V, 50 Hz supply. The armature resistance is Ra = 0.50 Ω and the
armature circuit inductance is La = 10 mH. The motor voltage constant is KeΦ = 0.1 V/
rpm. With the converter operating as a rectifier, the d.c. motor runs at 1200 rpm and carries
an armature current of 16 A. Assume that the motor current is continuous and ripple-free,
determine:
(a) The firing angle α.
(b) The power delivered to the motor.
(c) The supply power factor.

2. A series d.c. motor is supplied from a bridge rectifier, the a.c. input of which has rms value
of 230 V, 50 Hz. The combined armature and field resistance is 2 Ω and the field constant
k'f of the motor is 0.23 H. If the load torque is 20 Nm and the damping can be neglected,
calculate the average current and speed. (Hint: in series motor Ea = k’f i ω).

3. A 500 V, 1500 rpm d.c. motor is connected to a 400 V, three-phase, 50 Hz line using a
three-phase fully-controlled bridge rectifier. The full-load armature current is 1500 A and
the armature resistance is 0.05 Ω. Calculate:
(a) The required firing angle α under rated full load conditions.
(b) The firing angle required so that the motor develops its rated torque at 600 rpm.

4. A 10 kW , 300 V , 1000 rpm d.c. shunt motor has an armature resistance of 19.4×10-3 Ω ,
armature inductance of 1.1 mH , and a voltage constant of 1.38 V.s/rad. The motor is
operated from a fully-controlled, three- phase rectifier. Find the firing angle α in order that
the motor is operated at speed of 860 rpm, assuming that the supply voltage is 220 V,
consider the thyristors to have a forward voltage drop of 1.0 volt and assume continuous
current operating mode. Also calculate the efficiency of the drive if the load torque is
constant.

5. The speed of a 75 kW, 600 V, 2000 rpm separately-excited d.c. motor is controlled by a
three-phase fully-controlled full-wave rectifier bridge. The rated armature current is 132
A, Ra = 0.15 Ω, and La = 15 mH. The converter is operated from a three-phase, 415 V, 50
Hz supply. The motor voltage constant is KeΦ = 0.25 V/rpm. Assume sufficient inductance
is present in the armature circuit to make Ia continuous and ripple-free:
(a) With the converter operating in rectifying mode, the machine operates as a motor
drawing rated current, determine the value of the firing angle α such that the motor runs at
a speed of 1400 rpm.
(b) With the converter operating in inverting mode, the machine operates in regenerative
braking mode with speed of 900 rpm and drawing rated current, calculate the firing angle
α.
