Four Quadrant Operation of DC Drives

-Dual Converters
Dual Converter is a four Quadrant Converter –Output
voltage /and output current is either Positive or negative
Two similar converters -connected in parallel (inverse parallel )

Using the dual converter we can have two modes of


operations
a) Variable speed motor in forward or reverse
direction
b) Reverse and forward braking of motor
The Va, Ia plane for the dual converter is shown in fig

There are two modes of operation
a)Non circulating current and
b)Circulating current
 Non Circulating Current mode of Operation
At any instant only one converter is in operation
Converter A alone operates
The current is always flow from x to y when the firing angle varied from
0 to i.e (0<α<∏/2), the machine operates as motor in forward direction
and the converter operates as rectifier

When firing angle is between ∏/2 to ∏(∏/2< α< ∏), the machine
operates in reverse braking mode(speed is reverse) and the converter
operates as line commutated inverter.

There are two modes of operation
a)Non circulating current and
b)Circulating current
 Non Circulating Current mode of Operation
At any instant only one c converter is in operation
Converter B alone operates
The current is always flow from y to x, when the firing angle varied from
0 to i.e (0<αB<∏/2), the machine operates as motor in reverse direction
and the converter B operates as rectifier

When firing angle is between ∏/2 to ∏(∏/2< αB < ∏), the machine
operates in forward braking mode and the converter B operates as line
commutated inverter.

a)Non circulating current
When the direction of the rotation of the motor is to be reverse,
it is required to see that that the first converter is turned off and
the motor has attained zero speed and then current becomes
zero. Afterwards the second converter is made to operate by
giving suitable signals to gate. To achieve this current is to be
sensed and also a small time interval is required for the change
over of the rectifier.

b)Circulating current  
Converter A and B will be in operation simultaneously. On the DC side,

Cos = - Cos

Firing angles of converter A and B are controlled such that the average DC
output voltages at x and Y due to converter A and B be should be the same
value.
For achieving this if =
Current limiting rector(usually 30% of the rated current) used to
eliminate the circulating current of harmonic frequencies

A 220V 1500 rpm, 50A separately excited motor has an armature resistance of
0.5ohms. Armature is fed from a3 phase circulating current mode dual converter
consisting of fully controlled converters A and B. Rectifier A provides the motoring
operation in the forward direction and B in reverse direction. Line voltage is 165V.
