    The document summarizes experiments conducted on AC voltage controllers and controlled bridge rectifiers. In the AC voltage controller experiment, students recorded output voltages for different firing angles with and without a capacitor. Waveforms showed how the output voltage varied based on the firing angle. For the controlled bridge rectifier, students measured output voltages and ripple factors for varying firing angles with resistive and resistive-inductive loads. Graphs of firing angle versus output voltage were plotted from the results.

    AC VOLTAGE CONTROLLER

    INTRODUCTION

    An AC voltage controller is a type of AC converter that use a Thyristors to convert a fixed


    voltage, fixed frequency ac input supply to obtain a variable ac output voltage.

    The RMS value of the ac output voltage and ac power flow to the load is controlled by
    varying the trigger angle

    Single phase full wave rectifier uses two SCRs or a single TRIAC. The power flow to the
    load can be controlled in both the half cycles by varying the trigger angle.

    OBJECTIVES

    To study the single phase AC voltage controller circuits.

    To construct and analyze the characteristic waveforms and performance parameters of single
    phase full wave AC voltage controller using TRIACS.

    CONTROLLED BRIDGE RECTIFIER

    INTRODUCTION
    Controlled full wave rectification circuits use bridge circuits which are of two types: -

     Semi controlled, using two SCRs and two diodes.


     Totally controlled, using four SCRs.

    In experiment, totally controlled rectifier was done by using using four SCRs. In order to
    operate correctly the bridge needs a firing circuit, which delivers input pulses simultaneously
    to SCR gates. Current starts decaying and so generates a voltage in the impedance coil from
    the circuit diagram, both SCRs are kept in a conducting state until the energy stored in L is
    depleted.

    OBJECTIVES

    Analysis of rectification with a controlled bridge rectifier circuits and analysis of bridge
    performance with different loads

    Instruments and Equipment used

     Digital multi-meter.
     Dual trace oscilloscope.
     Trainer kit MCM11/EV.

    Post lab questions answers

     4 SCRs are required for a complete controlled rectifier


     At maximum value of supply voltage, the current in the inductor reaches maximum
    value
     The current is not at its maximum when the ac voltage reverses polarity because it
    depends on the firing angle
     The voltage across the load become part negative because the input voltage is an ac
    voltage
     In rectifier with R-L load, the SCRs peak current depends on R and α
