  • Patent number: 11233466
    Abstract: A thyristor starter is configured to accelerate a synchronous machine from a stop state to a predetermined rotation speed by sequentially performing a first mode of performing commutation of an inverter by intermittently setting DC output current of a converter to zero and a second mode of performing commutation of the inverter by induced voltage of the synchronous machine. The thyristor starter is further configured to raise induced voltage in proportion to the rotation speed of the synchronous machine by keeping field current constant and to suppress rise of the induced voltage by reducing the field current after the induced voltage reaches a first voltage value, in the first mode.
