3 Phase Controlled Rectifiers
• Operate from 3 phase ac supply voltage.
• They provide higher dc output voltage
as compared to 1-Phase controlled
rectifier.
• Higher dc output power.
• Higher output voltage ripple frequency.
• Filtering requirements are simplified for
smoothing out load voltage and load
current.

• Extensively used in high power variable
speed industrial dc drives.
• In three phase drives, the armature current
is mostly continuous and therefore the
motor performance is better compared to
that of single phase drive.

• This type of converter is employed for
motors in the typical range of 10-50 HP.
• This drive is impractical for most industrial
applications because supply currents
would contain D.C components.

• In case of series motor field circuit is
connected in series with the armature and
motor terminal voltage is controlled by
semi converter or fully controlled
converter.
• Series motors are particularly suited for
applications that require high starting

vehicles etc..

• Inherently, series motor can provide
essentially constant power output and
therefore particularly suitable for traction
drives
• Speed control is very difficult with the
series motor because any change in the
load current will immediately be reflected in
a speed change and hence , all speed
control systems will use separately excited
system.

• The flux φ has two components , One
component Фa which is produced by the
armature current flowing through the
series field winding. The other component
Фres is due to the residual magnetism.
• Фres is very small and can be assumed

• Torque is therefore, developed in the
same direction for either direction of
current .Hence, speed reversal in the
