Analysis of Half wave controlled rectifier

The KVL equation

di
Vmsin(t )  Ri  L
dt
The load current consists of two components, namely
steady state and transient components.

Vm
iss  sin(t   )
z
z  R 2  (L) 2
L
  tan ( )
1

R
 The transient component
it  Ae ( R / L ) t
i  iss  it
Using boundary conditions at
t   , i  0
Vm
i sin(t   )  Ae (  R / L )t
z
 Vm ( R / L )
A sin(   )e
z
 Computation of extinction angle

t   , i  0
Vm
sin(t   )  Ae (  R / L )  0
z

sin(   )  sin(   )e (  R / L )(   )

This transcendental equation can be solved using

numerical methods like Newton-Raphson method,
bisection method etc.
