Example 15.8 A dc-dc converter is used in regenerative braking of a dc series motor similar to the arrangement shown below. The dc supply voltage is 600V. The armature resistance is Ra = 0.02Ω and the field resistance is Rf = 0.03Ω. The back emf constant is Kv = 15.27mV/A rad/s. The average armature current is maintained constant at Ia = 250A. The armature current is continuous and has negligible ripple. If the duty cycle of the dc-dc converter is 60%, determine the following:

Combined Regenerative and Rheostatic Brake Control


Combined Regenerative and Rheostatic Brake Control (continued)

• Used when the supply is partly “receptive”

• Remove regenerative braking if line voltage is too high– Turn thyristor TR on

– Divert current to RB

– Apply rheostatic braking

– TR is “self-commutated”
