Three Phase Drives (H.Rashid): The ripple frequency of the armature voltage is higher than that of single phase drives and it requires less inductance in the armature circuit to reduce the armature ripple current. The armature current is mostly continuous and therefore the motor performance is better compared to that of single phase drives. There are four types 1. 3-Phase half-wave converter drives. 2. 3-Phase Semi converter drives. 3. 3-Phase Full-wave converter drives. 4. 3-Phase Dual converter drives.

3-Phase half-wave converter drives: A 3-Phase half wave converter fed dc motor drive is a two quadrant drive. The field converter could be a 1-phase or 3-phase semi converter. This drive is not normally used in industrial applications, because the ac supply contains dc components. With a three phase half-wave converter in the armature circuit, the armature voltage can be obtained with the help of equation 4-51 as;

3-Phase Semi-converter drives. A 3- semi converter fed drive ia a one quadrant drive and is limiting to applications upto 115 kwatts. The field converter should also be a single phase or three phase semi converter.

Example 10-6(H.Rashid):

The speed of a separately excited dc motor is controlled by a three phase Full-wave converter. The field circuit is also controlled by a 3- Full converter. The ac input to the armature and field converter is three phase, Y-connected, 208 v, 60 Hz. The armature resistance is R a = 0.25 , the field circuit resistance is R f = 145 and the motor voltage constant is K V = 1.2 V/A rad/s. The viscous friction and no-load losses can be considered negligible. The armature and field currents are continuous & ripple free. (a). If the field converter is operated at the maximum field current and the developed torque is T d = 116 N-m at 900 rpm, determine the delay angle of the armature converter ? (b). If the field circuit converter is set for the maximum field current, the developed torque is T d = 116 N-m and the delay angle of the armature converter 0, determine the speed of the motor ? For the same load demand as in part (b), determine the delay angle of the field converter ? If the speed has to be increased to 1800 rpm. From the given data;

So that => and

V P = 208 / v x 120 v = 900 x (/30)

V P = 120 v Vm= = 94.25 rad/s.

(a).

T d = T L = 116 N-m

So that for maximum field current; =0 Now according to equation 10-27 V f = (3 x x V m) / - - - - - - - - - - (10-27) => V f = (3 x x 169.7) / 3.142 => V f = 280.7 v

In this way the field current can be obtained as; i f= V f / R

Simultaneously the back emf can be obtained as according to equation 10-2 E g = K v . .I f - - - - - - - - - - - - (10-2) => Hence V a = E g + I a .R a => 218.96 + 49.93 x 0.25 => V a = 231.44 v. 1.2 x 1.936 x 94.25 => Eg=

=>

E g = 268.22 v

The speed of the motor can be obtained by equation 10-2 as; E g = K v . .I f - - - - - - - - - - - - (10-2) = E g / (K v. I f) => (268.22 / 1.2 x 1.936) => =
