3. Element Breakdown in Thyristor-Leonard Systems

In this system of DC motor control, if power outage or

commutation failure due to a thyristor control-circuit

fault occurs during inversion (while motor regenera-

tive power is being returned to the AC supply), the

DC motor, acting as a generator while coasting, will

be connected to a short-circuit path, as in Fig. 7.18.

For thyristor protection, MCCBs must be placed in the

DC side, as shown.

A Mag-Only MCCB with a tripping current of about

3 times the rated current is employed, either 3- or 4-

pole, series-connected as shown in Fig. 7.20. Since

the element short-circuit current is the same as the

MCCB current, circuit protection is effected provided

that the i2dt limit for the element is larger than that

for the MCCB interruption duration. This must be es-

tablished by test.
