Experiment#05 Single Phase Controlled Rectifier With Inductive Load

This document describes Experiment #05 on a single-phase controlled rectifier with an inductive load. The objective is to understand the working of this circuit. It uses a center-tapped transformer and two thyristors to form a full-wave rectifier. For large inductive loads and low trigger angles, the load current is continuous without falling to zero between pulses. The experiment involves building the circuit and measuring the output voltage and current waveform at different trigger angles to observe their behavior.

EXPERIMENT#05
SINGLE PHASE CONTROLLED RECTIFIER WITH INDUCTIVE LOAD
Objective:
To get knowledge about working of single-phase controlled rectifier with inductive load.
Theory:
Single phase full wave-controlled rectifier circuit combines two half wave controlled rectifiers in
one single circuit so as to provide two pulse output across the load. Both the half cycles of the
input supply are utilized and converted into a unidirectional output current through the load so as
to produce a two-pulse output waveform. Hence a full wave-controlled rectifier circuit is also
referred to as a two-pulse converter.

Center taped full wave rectifier

This type of full wave-controlled rectifier requires a center tapped transformer and two thyristors
1 and 2. The input supply is fed through the mains supply transformer; the primary side of the
transformer is connected to the ac line voltage which is available (normally the primary supply
voltage is 230V RMS ac supply voltage at 50Hz supply frequency in India). The secondary side
of the transformer has three lines and the center point of the transformer (center line) is used as the
reference point to measure the input and output voltages.
The upper half of the secondary winding and the thyristor 1 along with the load act as a half wave
controlled rectifier, the lower half of the secondary winding and the thyristor 2 with the common

load act as the second half wave controlled rectifier so as to produce a full wave load voltage
waveform.

CONTINUOUS LOAD CURRENT OPERATION (WITHOUT FWD):


For large values of load inductance, the load current flows continuously without decreasing and
falling to zero and there is always a load current flowing at any point of time. This type of operation
is referred to as continuous current operation.
Generally, the load current is continuous for large load inductance and for low trigger angles. The
load current is discontinuous for low values of load inductance and for large values of trigger
angles.
The waveforms for continuous current operation are as shown below.
