    5.8 Single phase to Single phase Cyclo converter

    It consists of back to back connected controlled rectifiers whose


    output voltage and frequency can be controlled by tuning firing angles of
    rectifiers. With respect to the connection of rectifiers, its structure can
    comprise of half-wave or full-wave bridge.

    It consists of two full-wave, fully controlled bridge thyristors, where


    each bridge has4 thyristors, and each bridge is connected in opposite
    direction (back to back) such that both positive and negative voltages can be
    obtained as shown in figure below. Both these bridges are excited by single
    phase, 50 Hz AC supply.

    Bridge 1- +ve group converter supplies load current in the +ve half of
    the output cycle and bridge 2 -ve group converter supplies load current in
    the negative half of the output cycle.

    The two bridges should not conduct together as this will produce a
    short circuit at the output.

    OPERATION

    MODE-1 : To get Positive half cycle of Output Voltage

    During positive half cycle of the input voltage, positive converter


    (bridge-1) is turned ON and it supplies the load current. During the +ve half
    cycle, 0 to π ,SCR P1 & P3 are forward biased and are triggered at ωt=α.
    Then P1 & P3 are on state & the output is positive. The current flows from
    V+-P1-R-P3-V-. at ωt=π, P1 & P2 are turned off. It rectifies the input voltage
    and produce unidirectional output voltage as we can observe four positive
    half cycles .

    During negative half cycle of the input, negative bridge is turned ON


    and it supplies load current. During –ve half of the cycle, π to 2π, SCR P3 &
    P4 are forward biased and is triggered at ωt=π+α. Then P2 & P4 are in on
    state. Again the output voltage & current is positive. Current flow is through
    V+-P3-R-P4-V-. at ωt=2π , SCR P2 & P4 are turned off due to natural
    commutation.

    Both converters should not conduct together that cause short


    circuit at the input.To avoid this, triggering to thyristors of bridge-2 is
    inhibited during positive half cycle of load current, while triggering is applied
    to the thyristors of bridge-1 at their gates. During negative half cycle of load
    current, triggering to positive bridge is inhibited while applying triggering to
    negative bridge.

    By controlling the switching period of thyristors, time periods of


    both positive and negative half cycles are changed and hence the
    frequency. This frequency of fundamental output voltage can be easily
    reduced in steps, i.e., 1/2, 1/3, 1/4 and so on.

    MODE-2: To get Negative half cycle of Output Voltage

    Now bridge 2 can be operated and the output is negative. During +ve
    half cycle 2π to 3π, SCR N1 & N3 are forward biased. It is triggered at
    ωt=2π+ α. Then it comes to on state. The current flows through B-N1-R-N3-
    C. the output voltage & current is negative. At ωt=3π SCR N1 & N3 are
    turned off due to natural commutation.

    During negative half cycle 3π to 4π, SCR N2 & N4 are forward biased.
    It is triggered at ωt=3π+α. Then it comes to on state. The current flows
    through C-N3-R-N4-B. now negative voltage & current is got as the
    output. At ωt=4π, SCR N2 & N4 are turned off due to natural
    commutation.
