  • Abstract
    A study of the prediction of commutation time of current in inverter-fed synchronous motor drives is presented. The natural commutation from one thyristor to the next is brought about by the machine voltage, and performance is commonly expressed in terms of a commutating reactance, xc. The commutation behavior of solid salient poles is explored in terms of the magnetic structure of the motor. It is shown that the behavior can be closely modeled using a circuit-solving computer package, SPICE
