A dc separately excited motor has constant field current. The armature is fed from a single phase supply through a full converter. When a = 0, speed is 500 rpm. If a = 45°, the speed is likely to be
Options
A. about 350 rpm
B. about 250 rpm
C. about 175 rpm
D. about 125 rpm
Correct Answer
about 125 rpm
Explanation
Average output voltage ? cos a and therefore reduced to 0.707 of the value for a = 0. Speed is nearly proportional to voltage.
