Example:
B6C circuit, line voltage Us:3AC400 V, armature circuit inductance motor L

rmature circuit resistance motor R
M
: 0.02 ohm, inductance of smoothing reactor L
G

resistance of smoothing reactor R
G
: 5 mOhm, cable deemed negligible.
Voltage drop commutating reactor: Vimp = 4%,
Line frequency: 50 Hz, rated armature current I
AN
: 600 A, rated armature voltage U
AN
: 420 V,
firing angle range
= 90 degrees for 100% in the calculation of the software
Parameters of the dead-time element:
Ideal no-load direct voltage = Udi = Us * 1.35 = 540 V
The trigger firing angle for rated armature voltage

is derived from the cosine function of
the control characteristic: cos

, this peak current must be substituted in the
formulas. This also applies to the torque M
