Series Inverter

This document describes the operation of a series inverter circuit. The circuit uses two thyristors (T1 and T2) in series with a resonant R-L-C load to produce an alternating current waveform at frequencies between 200Hz to 10kHz. When DC voltage is applied, thyristor T1 conducts and charges the capacitor C up to the supply voltage. T1 then turns off and the charged capacitor discharges through thyristor T2, producing the negative half-cycle of current through the load. The cycles repeat to generate an alternating current waveform.

Series Inverter

1] In this circuit commutating elements comes in series with the


load.
2] This consist a series R-L-C resonant circuit. This provides sine
waveform at a high frequency, ranging from 200Hz to 10kHz.

BASIC CIRCUIT:-

3] Figure shows the circuit of basic series inverter. T and T are
used to produce the two half that is positive and negative to
produce underdamped operation L and C Should be chosen
such that,
R<4L/C
4] When a D.C. voltage Edc is applied to the circuit and thyristor
T is triggered it starts conducting.
6] Resulting some current to flow through the R-L-C series
circuit.
7] Capacitor C gets charged up to voltage Ec.
8] When the current reaches its peak-value, the voltage across
the capacitor is approximately the supply voltage Edc.
9] After this, the current starts decreasing but the capacitor
retains the highest voltage [Edc+Ec].
10] SCR T is automatically turned-off because the current
flowing through it becomes zero.
11] During this mode, the load current remains at zero for
sufficient time [TOFF]. Therefore, both the thyristors T and T are
off. During this period capacitance voltage will be held
constant.
12] Since the positive polarity of the capacitor C appears on the
anode of SCR T, it is in conducting mode.
13] When SCR T stats conducting, capacitor C gets discharged
through it. Thus, the current through the load flows in the
opposite direction forming the negative alteration. This current
builds up to the negative maximum and then decreases to zero.
Capacitor voltage reverses to some value depending upon the
value of R,L and C.
Again after some time delay [TOFF] SCR T is triggered and
cycles are repeated.
