Therefore we express the shape of the current curve during conmautation by the “function of commu tation” and compuse with this function correction factors for the Sfadamental and the rms valve of the currens Most relations derived in the preceding chapters are based oninstantaneous commutation. However, this is an idealized condition. In reality the ‘commutating loop contains considerable inductance, and the current transfer requires a certain period of time, As a consequence, the steps of the current curve lose their rectangular shape, This affects (@) the fundamental and the harmonies @ the rms value of the alternating current, and the corresponding components of the power as well, These influences will now be investigated, Function of Commutation Thejfst step of the mathematical development is to substitute a simple term for the rather complex expression that describes the current curve during commutation and thus to shorten the mathematical sentences. In fact, we would like to define this new term, the “function of commutation,” Ja in buch manner thatthe curent curve is described by Rise: Mo)=Lf. QLD Decay: Hot) = 1 =f), (12) Since the current curve during commutation is a section of a cosine curve (if we disregard the fact that itis slightly deformed as a consequence of ‘the resistance of the commutating Loop), it can be easily proved that both a 328 AC Characteristies ms (21.1) and (21.2) are satisfied if cosa — 608 et Fe cosa — cose + 0) Ao provided that eo = 0 is separately defined for rise and decay, as shown in a ro de 7 ; Tee alate ig. 21.1, Current curve used for deriving the “function of commutation” fig. 21.1.

Under these assumptions, the cosine component of the fundamental is “in phase” with the voltage ‘and thus determines the effective power, while the sine wea Fig. 21.2.

Furthermore, we analyze only the positive pulse because, for the reason of symmetry, the negative pulse contributes equally to, the result and ean be accounted for by the factor 2.
