The Deep Dive
To determine the firing angle and other parameters for the motor control, we start by analyzing the required details for each part of the question. 1. To calculate the value of the firing angle for rated torque at 800 RPM, we need to relate the speed to the back EMF (E) of the motor, while factoring in the supply voltage (V), armature resistance (Ra), and torque curve characteristics. Using the formula: \[ E = V - I_a \cdot R_a \] where \( (I_a = 10 A) \) and \( (R_a = 1.5 \Omega) \): \[ E = 210 V - (10 A \cdot 1.5 \Omega) = 210 V - 15 V = 195 V. \] The motor's rated speed at 1200 RPM is the base for calculating the back EMF. The speed is proportional to EMF and inversely proportional to armature current in the constant torque region. Using the speed equation for a DC motor, we can find the relation of RPM vs EMF. For 800 RPM: \[ E_1 = \frac{800}{1200} \cdot E_{rated} \Rightarrow E_1 = \frac{800}{1200} \cdot 195 V \Rightarrow E_1 = 130 V. \] Now we calculate the required phase voltage from the converter to achieve this EMF, adjusting for firing angle \( \alpha \): \[ V_a = E + I_a \cdot R_a = 130 + 15 = 145 V. \] For a fully controlled converter from a single-phase AC, the DC output voltage is given by: \[ V_a = \frac{V_m}{\pi} (1 + \cos \alpha), \] where \( V_m \) is the peak AC voltage: \[ V_m = \sqrt{2} \cdot 230 V \approx 325 V. \] Substituting, \[ 145 = \frac{325}{\pi} (1 + \cos \alpha). \] Solving for \( \cos \alpha \): \[ 1 + \cos \alpha = \frac{145 \pi}{325} \Rightarrow \cos \alpha = \frac{145 \pi}{325} - 1. \] Calculating \( \alpha \) gives us: \[ \alpha \approx 70^\circ. \] --- 2. For part (b) where we compute the firing angle for the rated braking torque at -1200 RPM, we utilize the same concepts but adjust our back EMF calculation accordingly. Since the motor is reversing direction, the back EMF will also reverse. Using the same DC motor relation: \[ E = 210 V - (10 A \cdot 1.5 \Omega) = 195 V. \] At -1200 RPM, this means the motor works against its original generated back EMF, and we calculate as follows: \[ E = V - I_a \cdot R_a \Rightarrow -E = 210 V - 15 V \Rightarrow -E = -195 V, \] with \[ -\cos \alpha = \frac{-195}{\pi \cdot 325}. \] Solving this, we get the angle \( \alpha \approx 110^\circ \). --- 3. For part (c), we need to calculate the motor speed at rated torque when \( \alpha = 165^\circ \) during regenerative braking. Using the known relationship \( V_a = \frac{V_m}{\pi}(1 + \cos \alpha) \): At \( \alpha = 165^\circ \): \[ V_a = \frac{325}{\pi}(1 + \cos 165^\circ). \] Calculating \( \cos 165^\circ = -\cos 15^\circ \approx -0.9659 \): \[ V_a \approx \frac{325}{\pi}(1 - 0.9659) \approx 325 \cdot \frac{0.0341}{\pi} \approx 3.30 V. \] Now the speed for the applied voltage needs conversion via: Using \( E = V -I_a R_a \): \[ E = 3.30 - (10 \cdot 1.5) = -11.70 V. \] This indicates negative back EMF, necessitating \( E_{back EMF} \) divided by K value, resulting in speed close to 1000 RPM.
