    Power electronic converters use semiconductor switches arranged in a matrix to convert electrical power by changing the voltage, current, or frequency. There are several types of converters including phase controlled rectifiers, choppers, inverters, and cycloconverters. Converters are made of switches like IGBTs, MOSFETs, and thyristors that can be controlled to be fully on, fully off, or in intermediate states to achieve the needed output characteristics.

    PROJECT PRESENTATION

    ON POWER ELECTORNIC
    SWITCHES AND
    CONVERTER
    TOPOLOGIES
    What are Converters???
    Power electronic circuits are also called power
    converters.
    A converter uses a matrix of power
    semiconductor switches to convert electrical
    power.
    A converter system comprises of switches,
    reactive components L, C and transformers.
    These converters are classified into the
    following categories-
    1) Phase controlled rectifiers
    Convert fixed ac voltage to variable dc output
    voltage.
    Takes power from one or more
    voltage/current sources and delivers to load
    Output variable is low ripple voltage or
    current.
    Use line voltage for commutation
    2) Choppers
    Converts fixed dc input to variable dc output
    They are designed using power transistors,
    IGBTs, GTOs, power MOSFETs and SCRs.
    Output voltage can be varied by changing the
    duty cycle of the device by low signals from
    control unit
    DC-DC CONVERTORS

    WHY DC-DC CONVERTER ?


    WHAT IS DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CONVERTOR AND
    CHOPPER?
    TYPES OF CHOPPERS

    BUCK CONVERTOR
    BOOST CONVERTOR
    BUCK BOOST
    3) Inverters
    Converts fixed dc to an ac voltage of variable
    frequency and variable magnitude
    They are designed using power transistors,
    IGBTs, GTOs, power MOSFETs and SCRs
    4) Cycloconverters
    They are ac-ac converters
    Convert input power at one frequency to
    output power at another frequency through
    one stage conversion
    Designed using thyristors and controlled using
    triggering signals from control unit
    Output frequency lower than source
    frequency
    THREE TYPES OF SWITCHES

    UNCONTROLLED SWITCH
    SEMI CONTROLLED SWITCH
    FULLY CONTROLLED SWITCH
    UNCONTROLLED SWITCH

    DIODE
    1. SYMBOL

    HERE THE ON AND OFF SWITCH CANNOT BE CONTROLLED.


    SEMICONTROLLED SWITCH
    SCR
    Here the ON or OFF can be controlled, but the other one
    cannot.
    Like SCR-silicon controlled rectifier. It turns ON when it is
    1. Forward Biased
    2. Triggered by gate
    After the SCR is forward biased, you can turn it ON by
    triggering through gate terminal.
    So it is Semicontrolled Switch.
    IGBT
    Combines the characteristics of power
    transistors and mosfets viz. high efficiency and
    high switching frequency
    Three terminal device emitter, collector, gate
    Triggering signal from control unit given to
    gate
    Unidirectional, unipolar, fully-controlled
    device
    GTO
    Unidirectional, bipolar, fully-controlled device
    Consists of three terminals anode, cathode
    and gate
    Incorporates the advantages of conventional
    thyristor and high voltage switching
    Can be triggered by small positive gate current
    and turned off by negative gate current.
    Controlled switch
    1. PBJT
    2. PMOSFET
    3. PIGBT
    4. PGTO
    Here both the ON and OFF can be controlled.
