7.3.4 FLD I LOOP M ONITOR / Field firing angle of advance monitor PIN 146
Note this parameter is only updated if the field is enabled. The convention used is 0 degrees is
no firing and 180 degrees is full firing. The formula for calculating the field volts is as follow s
Volts = 0.45 * A C supply volts *(1-cos alpha). (Firing angle of advance (degrees) = alpha)
Field volts table. Note. The result is rounded do wn then reduced by 1 volt due to the drop in the field bridge.

After about 150 degrees there is only about 5 % more volts available. This is important to realise when
operating in the current control mode. In order to maintain the correct current, the volts must be able to
move higher as the field w arms up and the field winding resistance increases. Also it is necessary to allow a
margin for supply tolerance.
This means that w hen the field is at its highest operating temperature the firing angle should not normally
exceed 1 50 degrees to be sure of preventing saturation of the control loop. A typical field winding resistance
will change by about 20% bet w een cold and running temperature. Hence the maximum cold firing angle wi ll
be at about 1 25 degrees. If the field loop does saturate, then the speed loop will have to work harder to
maintain control. In A VF (Armature voltage feedback) systems the speed holding may be less accurate.
