Power Electronics and Machines I 4th Stage SEMESTER I /2023-2024 11.4 CONTROLLED RECTIFICATIONS, The disadvantages of the uncontrolled rectifiers discussed in the previous sections are overcome if the diodes are replaced by controllable power semiconductor switch; the resulting converters are called controlled converters. In Controlled Rectifications, the generated d.c. power is controllable and variable. They usually use SCRs as their power switches. For fast switching operation, MOSFETs and IGBTs are used. The following sections deal with the basic operation of some examples of controlled rectifiers starting with the simplest type which is the singlephase half-wave controlled rectifier loaded with resistive load. 11.4.1 The Controlled Half - Wave Rectifier ‘The half-wave rectifiers analyzed previously in this lectures are classified as uncontrolled rectifiers. Once the source and load parameters are established, the dc level of the output and the power transferred to the load are fixed quantities. A way to control the output of a half-wave rectifier is to use an SCR instead of a diode. Fig 79-a shows a basic controlled half-wave rectifier with a resistive load. Two conditions must be met before the SCR can conduct: 1, The SCR must be forward-biased (vscx > 0). 2. A current must be applied to the gate of the SCR. Unlike the diode, the SCR will not begin to conduct as soon as the source becomes positive Conduction is delayed until a gate current is applied, which is the basis for using the SCR as a means of control. Once the SCR is conducting, the gate current can be removed and the SCR remains on until the current goes to zero, 11.4.1.1 Resistive Load Fig. 79-b shows the voltage waveforms for a controlled half-wave rectifier with a resistive load. A gate signal is applied to the SCR at «t=ar, where is the delay angle.
