Abstract
For a dc-link type variable frequency inverter-synchronous motor drive, the relationship between the operation of the machine commutated thyristor inverter and the characteristics of the synchronous motor are analyzed. The factors of maximum motor utilization, the required rating of the machine-side converter (inverter), and the rating and input power factor of the line-side converter (rectifier) are established. The effect of four different firing angle control principles applied to the machine converter on rating and performance is analyzed.
