Commutation Angle in Choppers Formulas

The commutation angle (θ) is the phase angle at which a device like a thyristor is intentionally turned off in an AC waveform to control current flow. And is denoted by θ₁. Commutation Angle is usually measured using the Degree for Angle. Note that the value of Commutation Angle is always positive.
