1-Phase Full Converter DC-Drive

The document describes a 1-phase full converter DC drive. It consists of an AC voltage source connected to a DC motor via four thyristors that act as switches. Current flows through different paths in the motor depending on the firing angle α. The current lags the voltage and is non-sinusoidal, resulting in low power factor. The average armature voltage depends on the firing angle. Increasing the firing angle shifts the torque-speed characteristic curve downward.

1. Current lags to voltage


2. Current is non sinusoidal, so it will produce harmonic
3. Power factor is low
4. Displacement factor is low
5. Power factor depends on firing angle (α)
