ASSIGNMENT-1

Q 1. A 220 V, 1500 rpm, 11.6 A separately excited motor is controlled by a l-phase fully
controlled rectifier with an ac source voltage of 230 V, 50 Hz. Enough filter inductance is
added to ensure continuous conduction for any torque greater than 25 percent of rated
torque, Ra = 2 ohm
a) What should be the value of the firing angle to get the rated torque at 1000 rpm?
b) Calculate the firing angle for the rated braking torque and -1500 rpm.
c) Ca1culate the motor speed at the rated torque and = 160 for the regenerative
braking in the second quadrant.

a) = 60 and speed = 400 rpm
b) = 60 and speed = 995 rpm
Q 3.
A 220 V, 1500 rpm de motor has the armature resistance and inductance of 2 ohm
and 28.36 rnH, respectively. It is controlled by a 3-phase fully-controlled rectifier from an
ac source operating at 50 Hz.

CaIculate the ac source voltage required to get the rated voltage across the motor
terminals when operating in continuous conduction.

b) = 60, T = 20.0 N-m
c) = 120, T = 20.0 N-m
Q 4.
A 30 kW, 230 V, 860 rpm, 144 A de motor has an armature resistance of 0.07 ohm. It
is fed by a 3-phase fully-controlled rectifier from an ac source of 170.3 V (line), 60 Hz.
Assuming continuous conduction, calculate motor speeds for the following cases:
a) = 60, T = 300 N-m
b) = 150, T = 400 N-m
c) = 120, T = -400 N-m
