Solution:
Assumptions:
1. No free-wheeling diode and constant current output; therefore the thyristors conducts
until the next thyristor is switched on.
2. I (holding) is considered zero for the thyristors.
3. Load current is constant at 10 Amps.
4. Motor operates on 100 Volts DC.
5. Input voltage is assumed to be:

6. In the three phase system calculations line to line voltage have been used.
7.
8. 400 is the RMS line to line voltage.

Discussion
Small inconsistencies between the simulated and calculated values are because of rounding
up numbers to two decimal points. In the case of the simulated results the PSIM software
has a much higher precision level therefore its values are much more accurate.
