INTRODUCTION

Semiconductor converters may be grouped into three main categories, According to their functions.

1. Transfer of power from an alternating current (ac) supply to direct current (dc) form. This type of
converter is usually called a rectifier.

2. Transfer of power from a direct current supply to alternating current form. This type of converter is
usually called an inverter.

3. Transfer of power from an ac supply directly into an ac load of different frequency. This type of
converter is called a cyclo-converter or a matrix converter.

4. Transfer of power from a direct current supply directly into a direct current load of different voltage
level. This type of converter is called a chopper converter or a switch-mode converter.

Rectifiers
The process of changing AC into DC is called rectification. Where the application requires fixed
voltage DC., the switching element is a diode. Where the application requires variable voltage DC.,
controlled rectifiers are used. These are generally classified in to

1. Single phase controlled converter /Single phase Rectifier

2. Three phase controlled converter / three phase rectifier

Single phase ac-to-dc converters are generally limited to a few kilowatts, and for higher levels of
d.c. power output three-phase line commuted converters are used owing to restrictions on unbalanced
loading, line harmonics, current surge and voltage dips. Increase in ripple frequency also reduces the filter
size. converter which can be operated both in rectifying and inverter modes are called fully controlled
converters. When power flow can only occur from ac-to-dc, the converter is known as semi converter, or
half controlled converter. Fully controlled three-phase converters find applications in high voltage dc
power (HVDC) transmission, d.c. and a.c. motor drives with regenerative breaking capabilities.

The major components of the 3 PHASE CONVERTR fed dc motor drive is (1) 3Ø SCR Power module
(2) PWM Controller (3) Motor. This manual explains the practical details and operation of speed control of
PMDC motor system by using PLVSI-01, Dspic-microcontroller set up from POWER LAB INSTRUMENTS,

3Ø Controlled RECTIFIER

The rectifier circuits can be classified broadly in to three classes, 1.Uncontrolled, 2.Fully controlled
and 3.half controlled. An uncontrolled converter uses only diodes and the d.c output voltage is fixed in
amplitude by the amplitude of ac supply. The fully controlled rectifier uses thyristors as a rectifying
element and the dc output voltage is a function of the amplitude of the ac supply voltage and the point on
wave at which the thyristor are triggered (called firing angle – α Alpha). The half controlled converter
contains mixture of Thyristors and diodes, allowing a more limited control over the d.c output voltage-level
than the fully controlled rectifier. The half controlled rectifier is cheaper than a fully controlled rectifier of
the same ratings but has operational limitations.

3 phase Fully controlled converter

The operation of a 3-phase fully-controlled bridge rectifier circuit is described below. A three-phase fully-
controlled bridge rectifier can be constructed using six SCRs as shown below.

The three-phase bridge rectifier circuit has three-legs, each phase connected to one of the three phase
voltages. Alternatively, it can be seen that the bridge circuit has two halves, the positive half consisting of
the SCRs S1, S3 and S5 and the negative half consisting of the SCRs S2, S4 and S6. At any time, one SCR from
each half conducts when there is current flow. If the phase sequence of the source be RYB, the SCRs are
triggered in the sequence S1, S2 , S3 , S4, S5 , S6 and S1 and so on. The operation of the circuit is first
explained with the assumption that diodes are used in place of the SCRs. Let the three-phase voltages be
defined as shown below.

5
 It can be seen that the R-phase voltage is the highest of the three-phase voltages when q is in the
range from 30o to 150o. It can also be seen that Y-phase voltage is the highest of the three-phase voltages
when q is in the range from 150o to 270o and that B-phase voltage is the highest of the three-phase
voltages when q is in the range from 270o to 390o or 30o in the next cycle. We also find that R-phase
voltage is the lowest of the three-phase voltages when q is in the range from 210o to 330o. It can also be
seen that Y-phase voltage is the lowest of the three-phase voltages when q is in the range from 330o to
450o or 90o in the next cycle, and that B-phase voltage is the lowest when q is in the range from 90o to
210o. If diodes are used, diode D1 in place of S1 would conduct from 30o to 150o, diode D3 would conduct
from 150o to 270o and diode D5 from 270o to 390o or 30o in the next cycle. In the same way, diode D4
would conduct from 210o to 330o, diode D6 from 330o to 450o or 90o in the next cycle, and diode D2 would
conduct from 90o to 210o. The positive rail of output voltage of the bridge is connected to the topmost
segments of the envelope of three-phase voltages and the negative rail of the output voltage to the lowest
segments of the envelope. At any instant barring the change-over periods when current flow gets
transferred from diode to another, only one of the following pairs conducts at any time

Period, range of θ Diode Pair in conduction

30o to 90o D1 and D6
90o to 150o D1 and D2
150o to 210o D2 and D3
210o to 270o D3 and D4
270o to 330o D4 and D5
330o to 360o and 0o to 30o D5 and D6

If SCRs are used, their conduction can be delayed by choosing the desired firing angle. When the
SCRs are fired at 0o firing angle, the output of the bridge rectifier would be the same as that of the circuit
with diodes. For instance, it is seen that D1 starts conducting only after q = 30o. In fact, it can start
conducting only after q = 30o , since it is reverse-biased before q = 30o. The bias across D1 becomes zero
when q = 30o and diode D1 starts getting forward-biased only after q =30o. When vR(q) = E*Sin (q), diode D1
is reverse-biased before q = 30o and it is forward-biased when q > 30o. When firing angle to SCRs is zero
degree, S1 is triggered when q = 30o. This means that if a synchronizing signal is needed for triggering S1,
that signal voltage would lag vR(q) by 30o and if the firing angle is a, SCR S1 is triggered when q = a + 30o.

6
Given that the conduction is continuous, the following table presents the SCR pair in conduction at any
instant.

SCR Pair in
Period, range of q
conduction
α + 30o to α + 90o S1 and S6
o o
α + 90 to α + 150 S1 and S2
α + 150o to α + 210o S2 and S3
α + 210o to α + 270o S3 and S4
α + 270o to α + 330o S4 and S5
o o o o
α + 330 to α + 360 and α + 0 to α + 30 S5 and S6

SYNCHRONIZING SIGNALS

To vary the output voltage, it is necessary to vary the firing angle. In order to vary the firing angle,
one commonly used technique is to establish a synchronizing signal for each SCR. It has been seen that
zero degree firing angle occurs 30o degrees after the zero-crossing of the respective phase voltage. If the
synchronizing signal is to be a sinusoidal signal, it should lag the respective phase by 30o and then the
circuitry needed to generate a firing signal can be similar to that described for single-phase. Instead of a
single such circuit for a single phase rectifier, we would need three such circuits

To get the synchronizing signals, three control transformers can be used, with the primaries connected in
delta and the secondaries in star, as shown below.

7
For S1, voltage vS1 is used as the synchronizing signal. Voltage vS2 is used as the synchronizing signal for SCR
S2 and so on. The waveforms presented by the synchronizing signals are as shown below. The waveforms
do not show the effect of turn’s ratio, since any instantaneous value has been normalized with respect to
its peak value. For example, let the primary phase voltage be 240 V and then its peak value is 339.4 V.
The primary voltage is normalized with respect to 339. V. If the peak voltage of each half of secondary is
10 V, the secondary voltage are normalized with respect to 10 V.

PMDC Motor

DC Motors consist of rotor mounted winding (armature) and stationary windings (field poles). In all
dc motors expect, PM Motors, current must be conducted to the armature winding by passing current
through carbon brushes that slide over a set of copper surfaces called a commutator , which is mounted on
the rotor.
The commutator bars are soldered to armature coils. The brush /commutator combination makes a
sliding switch that energizes particular portions of the armature based on the position of the rotor. This
process creates north and south poles on the rotor that are attracted to or repelled by north and south
poles on the stator which are formed by passing direct current through the field windings. its this magnetic
attraction and repulsion that causes the rotor to rotate. The greatest advantage of the DC Motors may be
speed control. Since speed is directly proportional to armature voltage and inversely proportional to the
magnetic flux produced by the poles, adjusting the armature voltage and / or the field current will change
the rotor speed. Major types of dc motors are

1. Self excited dc motor

2. Separately excited dc motors , and further classified in to
a. Series dc Motor
b. Shunt Motor
c. Compound motor
d. Permanent Magnet dc motor

Series Motors : Series motors connected the field windings in series with the armature; series motors lack
good speed regulations, but are well suited for high torque loads like power tools and automobile starters

Shunt Motors: Shunt motors use high-resistance field windings connected in parallel with the armature.
Varying the field resistance changes the motor speed. Shunt motors are prone to armature reaction, a
distortion and weakening of the flux generated by the poles that result in commutation problems
evidenced by sparking at the brushes. Installing additional poles, called inter poles, on the stator between
the main poles wired in series with the armature reduces armature reaction

Compound Motors: In this motor the concept of the series and shunt designs are combined

PMDC Motor (permanent Magnet DC Motor)

Permanent magnet DC (PMDC) motors provide a comparatively simple and reliable DC drive
solution in applications requiring high efficiency, high starting torque and a linear speed/torque curve.
With the great strides made in ceramic and rare earth magnet materials, combined with electronic control
technology, the PMDC motor is a cost-competitive solution for adjustable speed applications - delivering
significant performance in a relatively compact size. The single design feature which distinguishes the
permanent magnet DC motor from other DC motors is the replacement of the wound field with permanent
magnets. It eliminates the need for separate field excitation and attendant electrical losses in the field
windings.

The most important advantage of PM field motors is their smaller overall size made possible by
replacing the wound field with ceramic permanent magnets. The PM motor’s ring and magnet assembly is
considerably smaller in diameter than its wound field counterpart, providing substantial savings in both
size and weight. See Fig. 1. And since the PMDC motor is not susceptible to armature reaction, the field
strength remains constant

If we examine the field construction of the wound field DC motor versus the PMDC field motors, we
can explain the differences in armature reaction and corresponding differences in speed/torque
characteristics of the two motor types. The armature magnetizing force in a wound field construction
“sees” a very high permeability (low reluctance) iron path to follow. In the PM field design, this armature
magnetizing force is resisted by the low permeability (high reluctance) path of the ceramic magnet, which
tends to act as a very large air gap. The net result is that the armature cannot react with the field in a
PMDC motor, thereby producing a linear speed / torque characteristic throughout its entire torque range.

10
PMDC motors offer benefits in a number of ways:

a) They produce relatively high torques at low speeds, enabling them to be used as substitutes for
gear motors in many instances. PMDC motors operated at low speeds are especially useful where
“backlash” and inherent mechanical “windup” of gearing in gear motors can not be tolerated. It should be
noted that if PMDC motors are continuously operated at high torque levels (above rated), they can
generate serious overheating, or motor damage can result.

b) The linear speed / torque curve of PMDC motors, coupled with their ability to be easily
controlled electronically, make them ideal for adjustable speed and servo motor applications.

c) The linear output performance characteristics of PMDC motors also make it easier to
mathematically predict their dynamic performance. See Fig. 3.

The PMDC motor’s high starting torque capability can be a valuable asset in many “motor only”
(non-gear motor) applications as well as inertial load applications requiring high starting torque with less
running torque. PMDC motors function well as torque motors for actuator drives and in other intermittent
duty applications.

The size reduction in PMDC motors is generally accomplished without any significant change in the
temperature rise rating for a given horsepower. In fact, the electrical efficiency of the PMDC motor is very
often 10% to 15% higher due to the elimination of field copper losses which occur in wound field motors.
PMDC motors can be produced in TENV (totally enclosed non-ventilated) construction, eliminating the
need for fans and providing much greater application flexibility. With their higher inherent efficiency,

11
PMDC motors and gear motors offer lower current drain for more efficient battery operation in portable
applications. The permanent magnets also provide some self-braking (less shaft coast) when the power
supply is removed. PMDC motors require only two leads (shunt-wound motors require four). The leads can
be reversed by simply changing the polarity of the line connection. Dynamic braking is achieved by merely
shunting the two leads after disconnecting them from the power source. Permanent magnet DC motors
also provide similar performance characteristics to shunt-wound DC motors when used with all common
control methods (except field weakening).

A permanent-magnet d.c. (PMDC) motor is similar to an ordinary d.c. shunt motor except that its
field is provided by permanent magnets instead of salient-pole wound-field structure. Fig. 39.Lo (a) shows
2-pole PMDC motor whereas Fig. 39.10(b) shows a 4-pole wound-field motor for comparison purposes

Construction:

As shown in Fig. the permanent magnets of the PMDC motor are supported by a cylindrical steel stator
which also serves as a return path for the magnetic flux. The rotor (i.e. armature) has winding slots,
commutator segments and brushes as in conventional d.c. machines.

There are three types of permanent magnets used for such motors. The materials used have residual flux
density and high coercivity.

Alnico magnets: They are used in motors having ratings in the range of 1 kW to 150 kW.

Ceramic (ferrite) magnets: They are much economical in fractional kilowatt motors.

Rare-earth magnets: Made of samarium cobalt and neodymium iron cobalt which have the highest energy
product. Such magnetic materials are costly but are best economic choice for small as well as large motors.

Another form of the stator construction is the one in which permanent-magnet material is castthe form of
a continuous ring instead of in two pieces as shown in Fig. 39.10 (a).
12
Performance:

Below Fig. shows some typical performance curves for such a motor. Its speed-torque curve is a straight
line which makes this motor ideal for a servomotor, Moreover, input current increases linearly with load
torque. The efficiency of such motors is higher as compared to wound-field dc motors because, in their
case, there is no filed Cu Loss.

Speed Control:

Since flux remains constant, speed of a PMDC motor cannot be controlled by using Flux Control
Method (Art 33.2). The only way to control its speed is to vary the armature voltage with the help of an
armature rheostat (Art 33.2) or electronically by using x-choppers. Consequently, such motors are found in
systems where speed control below base speed only is required.

Advantage:

• In very small ratings, use of permanent-magnet excitation results in lower manufacturing cost.
• In many cases a PMDC motor is smaller in size than a wound-field d.c. motor of equal power rating.
• Since field excitation current is not required, the efficiency of these motors is generally higher than
that of the wound-field motors.
• Low-voltage PMDC motors produce less air noise.
• When designed for low-voltage (12 V or less) these motors produced very little radio and TV
interference.

13
Disadvantages:

• Since their magnetic field is active at all times even when motor is not being used, these motors are
made totally enclosed to prevent their magnets from collecting magnetic junk from neighborhood.
Hence, as compared to wound-field motors, their temperature tends to be higher. However, it may
not be much of disadvantage in situations where motor is used for short intervals.

• A more serious disadvantage is that the permanent magnets can be demagnetized by armature
reaction-MMF causing the motor to become inoperative. Demagnetization can result from
improper design, excessive armature current caused by a fault or transient or improper connection
in the armature circuit improper brush shift and temperature effect.

When the rated AC supply is applied to the stator windings, it generates a magnetic flux of constant
magnitude, rotating at synchronous speed. The flux passes through the air gap, sweeps past the rotor
surface and through the stationary rotor conductors. An electromotive force (EMF) is induced in the rotor
conductors due to the relative speed differences between the rotating flux and stationary conductors. The
frequency of the induced EMF is the same as the supply frequency. Its magnitude is proportional to the
relative velocity between the flux and the conductors. Since the rotor bars are shorted at the ends, the
EMF induced produces a current in the rotor conductors.

The direction of the rotor current opposes the relative velocity between rotating flux produced by
stator and stationary rotor conductors (per Lenz's law). To reduce the relative speed, the rotor starts
14
rotating in the same direction as that of flux and tries to catch up with the rotating flux. But in practice, the
rotor never succeeds in 'catching up' to the stator field. So, the rotor runs slower than the speed of the
stator field. This difference in speed is called slip speed. This slip speed depends upon the mechanical load
on the motor shaft. The frequency and speed of the motor, with respect to the input supply, is called the
synchronous frequency and synchronous speed. Synchronous speed is directly proportional to the ratio of
supply frequency and number of poles in the motor.

Synchronous speed of an induction motor is

Synchronous Speed (Ns) = 120 x F/P

Where:
F = rated frequency of the motor

P = number of poles in the motor

Synchronous speed is the speed at which the stator flux rotates. Rotor flux rotates slower than
synchronous speed by the slip speed. This speed is called the base speed. The speed listed on the motor
nameplate is the base speed. Some manufacturers also provide the slip as a percentage of synchronous
speed

Change of Speed

The change of speed on the induction machine can be changed in 3 different ways, which can be described
towards the definition of the rotor speed:

Where,

n0 = is the rotational field created from stator. ns = is the slip speed. P= the number of pole pairs.

This equation indicates the three ways of changing the speed on the shaft.

1. Changing the slip,

2. Changing the pole pairs
3. Changing the Frequency

15
Slip-changes can only be done from either changing the rotor resistant (Phase-Wound Motors) or the
input-voltage on stator. Pole pair change; again a direct change of the motor-windings, where a coupling
between different phases can be achieved. The last control-way is the frequency here the only limit is the
source added to the motor. If the voltage applied to the machine can be changed from low voltage /
frequency to high voltage /frequency an optimal speed-control is achievable.
