Lecture 1-Single-Phase-Controlled-Rectifiers

This document discusses single phase controlled rectifiers. It describes the operation of a single phase half wave controlled rectifier with a resistive load and inductive load. It has high ripple content and low ripple frequency with a resistive load. With an inductive load, the thyristor continues conducting during the negative voltage half cycle due to the inductor, increasing the conduction period. It also discusses a freewheeling diode, which prevents reverse voltage and allows the thyristor to block, improving power factor. The document provides example problems calculating firing angles, output voltages, current waveforms, and peak inverse voltages for various single phase controlled rectifier circuits.

Single Phase Controlled Rectifiers

Principle of Phase-Controlled Converter Operation (Single-Phase Half-


Wave Controlled Rectifier) With Resistive Load
This converter is not normally used in industrial applications
because its output as high ripple content and low ripple
frequency.

Average Load Voltage


Single-Phase Half-Wave Controlled Rectifier With Inductive Load

• When the supply voltage reverse,


the thyristor is kept conducting
due to the fact that current
through the inductance cannot be
reduced to zero.

• During negative voltage half-cycle,


current continuous to flow till the
energy stored in the inductance is
dissipated in the load resistor and
a part of the energy is fed back to
the source. The effect of inductive
load is increased in the conduction
period of SCR.

Freewheeling Diode

Freewheeling Diode: The diode which is used to commutate or transfer


or bypass load current away from the rectifier or SCR
whenever the load-voltage goes to a reverse state is called
freewheeling diode
Freewheeling diode is also called commutating diode,
flywheel diode, or bypass diode

Freewheeling diode serves two main functions:

1. It prevents reversal of load voltage except for small diode


voltage drop. It improves the power factor.
2.It transfer the load current away from the main rectifier or
SCR, thereby allowing all of its thyristors to region their
blocking states.
Performance Parameters of Rectifier
Single-phase full-wave controlled rectifier
loaded with highly inductive load:

This load represents a DC motor


E: back emf of armature of the DC motor= Kw ( K is constant and w motor speed)
E1/E2= W1/W2
R: armature resistance of the DC motor
L: armature inductance of the DC motor
Practice problems:

1: 220 V AC supply fed dc motor by a full wave controlled bridge rectifier.


The DC motor has armature resistance 2 Ω and the back emf equals 80
V when the speed is 1000 rpm and the armature current 10 A . find the
firing angle at this case and in case when the speed is 500 rpm at the
same armature current

the transformer secondary output voltage is 50 V, the load resistance is 5 Ω,
the thyristor firing angle is π /6 (rad) and the inductive load make extinction

(i) Draw the output waveforms of load voltage, current and thyristor voltage
(ii) Vrms and Vdc of the output load voltage
(iii)Form factor
(iv)Ripple factor
