converters.Imaxis the rated rectifier current. In quadrant 4, the rectifier works like a line-
commutated inverter with a negative output voltage, and the power flows from the load to the ac
source.
Let us now consider the single-phase, fully controlled, rectifier-fed separately excited dc
motor shown in Figure 16.1.12(a). Note that the armature has been replaced by its equivalent
circuit, in whichRaandLa, respectively, represent the armature-circuit resistance and inductance
(including the effect of a filter, if connected), andEis the back emf.
Figure 16.1.12(b) shows the source voltage and thyristor firing pulses. The pairT 1 andT 3
receives firing pulses fromαtoπ, and the pairT 2 andT 4 receives firing pulses from (π+α)to
2 π.
