Abstract: This paper explains the requirements of thyristor chopper circuits to operate without any commutation limits and also explains the commutation processes of a thyristor chopper which satisfies these requirements. The practical design equations for the selection of components are derived and the complete design of the chopper circuit to meet typical drive specifications is presented. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
