Exp-9 11

The document describes an experiment to analyze a single phase full wave controlled rectifier with an RL load without a freewheeling diode. The circuit uses SCRs as rectifiers to operate and control a DC load from an AC supply. By varying the firing angle α, the average output current Iav can be controlled. The experiment involves connecting the circuit, observing the waveforms on an oscilloscope, and calculating values like the average voltage and current.

EXPERIMENT NO.

AIM: Analyze Single phase Full wave controlled rectifier with “RL” load without FWD.

APPARATUS: FWR Trainer Kit, C.R.O., AC Power Supply(0-230V), Probes.

THEORY:

SCRs are very useful in ac circuits where they may serve as rectifiers whose
output current can be controlled by controlling the gate current. An example of this type
of application is the use of SCRs to operate and control dc motors or dc load from an ac
supply. The circuit using an SCR as an full-wave rectifier is shown in figure. The ac supply
to be rectified is applied to the primary of the transformer ensuring that the negative
voltage appearing at the secondary of the transformer is less than reverse breakdown
voltage of the SCR. The load resistance RL is connected in series with anode. A variable
resistance r is inserted in the gate circuit for control of gate current.

The average output from such a full-wave rectifier connected to a secondary


voltage of

Vs = Vmax sin θ is given by an expression

Average output voltage, Vav = VMAX/𝛑 (1 + cos α)

Average current, Iav = VMAX/𝛑RL (1 + cos α)

Thus, the desired value of average current, I av can be obtained by varying firing
angle α.

Iav = VMAX/πRL when α = 0

CIRCUIT DIAGRAM:

OPERATION:

With reference to Figure, thyristor T1 can be fired into the on-state at any
time after e1 goes positive. Once thyristor T1 is turned-on, current builds up in the
inductive load, maintaining thyristor T1 in the on-state up to the period when e1
goes negative. However, once e1 goes negative, e2 becomes positive, and the firing
of thyristor T2 immediately turns on thyristor T2 which takes up the load current,
placing a reverse voltage on thyristor T1, its current being commutated
(transferred) to thyristor T2. The thyristor voltage, VT, waveform in Figure shows
that it can be fired into conduction at any time when VT is positive. The peak
reverse (and forward) voltage that appears across the thyristor is 2 Em, that is, the
maximum value of the complete transformer secondary voltage.
During positive half cycle d1 &d4 are forward bias and trigger the SCR. The
Current flows to the path d1, d4 VZ, RL, SCR. During negative half cycle d2, d3 are
forward bias. and trigger the SCR. The current flows path d2, d3, RL, SCR. SCR is
trigger at the same firing angles in each positive and negative half cycle of the
supply voltage respectively. When supply voltage falls to zero. The current goes to
zero hence diode d1, d4 in positive half cycle & d2, d3 are in negative half cycle
turn off by natural commutation.
