This experiment is aimed to study the operation of single phase semi-controlled (Asymmetrical and Symmetrical) converter using R-L load by observing the output waveforms. The circuit is implemented in simulation as well as hardware and the performance is studied.
In the period 0<t≤πω0<t≤πω; the SCRs T1T1 and Diode D1D1 are forward biased and the SCR T2T2 and Diode D2D2 are reverse biased. Then current through the load and voltage drop across the load are zero. Let the SCR T1T1 be triggered at an angle of αα (0<α<πω)(0<α<πω). As the Diode D1D1 is already conducting, the supply terminals are connected to the load through the SCR and Diode, and the current starts flowing through the load via SCR T1T1 and Diode D1D1. Therefore, the supply voltage appears across the load, the voltage drop across the SCR and the Diode is zero when they are conducting (SCR, Diode are assumed ideal).
Soon after πωπω load voltage tends to reverse, Free-wheeling Diode (FWD) gets forward biased and starts conducting. The load, or output current, is transferred from T1,D1T1,D1 to FWD. As SCR T1T1 is reverse biased at t=πω+t=πω+ current flows through FWD and T1T1 is turned off. The load terminals are short-circuited through FWD, therefore load voltage is zero during [πω<t<π+αω][πω<t<π+αω]. During the period [πω<t<2πω][πω<t<2πω]; T2T2 and Diode D2D2 are forward biased. When T2T2 is triggered at an angle of π+αωπ+αω, [0<π+αω<2π/ω], then the FWD is reverse biased and is turned off. During this period, supply terminals are connected to the load through the SCR and the Diode D2, the load current shifts from FWD to T2 and D2. Therefore, the supply voltage appears across the load. The voltage drop across the SCR and Diode is zero when they are conducting (SCR, Diode are assumed ideal). SCR T2 and Diode D2 continue to conduct up to 2π/ω. For the next half cycle, the load current is transferred from T2 and D2 to the FWD and SCR T1 and Diode D1 are forward biased. If we give triggering, SCR starts conducting and this cycle repeats.
