Multi-MW, normal speed (1500-3000 rpm) industrial AC drives requiring slow dynamic torque response mostly employ thyristorized Load-Commutated Inverter (LCI)-fed wound field synchronous motors. These traditional drives are popular as Separately excited/Shunt Commutatorless Motors (CLMs), as the field winding of these motors are separately excited/controlled. This book deals with the development, analysis, design, simulation models and practical implementation including a position sensorless operation of a thyristorized commutatorless series motor (CLSM) drive in which the field winding...
