single phase full converter. The rated motor armature current is 38A and the armature
resistance is 0.3Ω.The ac supply voltage is 260V.The motor voltage constant is Ka Φ
=0.182V/rpm. Assume that sufficient inductance is present in the armature circuit to
make the motor current continuous and ripple free?(13)
