What is a single phase half-wave converter drive?

In single phase half-wave converter drive, the armature current is always discontinuous unless a very large inductor is connected in the armature circuit. The applications of this drive are limited to the 0.5 kW power level. The converter in the field circuit should be a semi-converter.

Why should we not use a half-wave converter in the field circuit?

A half-wave converter is not preferred in the field circuit of single phase half-wave converter drive because it would increase the magnetic losses of the motor due to high ripple content on the field excitation current.
