PMDC motor: how much is voltage reduced if the resistance produced by commutation system is eliminated?
I have made a PMDC motor. The resistance of the coils is 0.25 ohms. But the commutation system is very resistant. It adds more 0.85 ohms to the armature resistance. So, the total resistance becomes 1....

What factors affect a thyristor's “circuit commutated turn-off time”?
In datasheets, they give this value at a certain operation point (voltage, current, and di/dt). My question is... What are the effects of changing these parameters.
For example, if di/dt is ...
