Theory:
When Anode is positive with respect to the cathode, SCR is said to be

forward biased. Whenever the applied voltage becomes more than the Forward
Breakover Voltage(VBO), SCR starts conducting. By giving a suitable triggering pulse
to the gate, the SCR can be made to conduct at a lower anode to cathode
voltage. When the SCR is reverse biased it acts as an open circuit upto Reverse
Breakdown voltage after which the SCR breaks down.
Latching current is the minimum value of anode current which it must attain
during turn-on process to maintain conduction when gate signal is removed.
Holding current is defined as the minimum value of anode current below which SCR
turns off.

developed by combining the areas of Field-effect concept and MOS Technology.

flows from drain to source and load. When gate is made positive with respect to
source, an electric field is established and current can flow from drain to source. If
VGS is made more positive more current flows from drain to source which shows that
drain current I D is enhanced by the gradual increase of gate voltage.

2. GATE FIRING CIRCUITS
AIM: To learn about different firing circuits ( R,RC & UJT ) used for triggering SCRs..
Apparatus:

2 Multimeter Digital 01
3 Lamp Load 01
THEORY:
There are different methods for triggering an SCR. The most commonly used
method is gate triggering. By applying a positive signal at the gate terminal of the
SCR, it can be triggered much before the specified break over voltage. The gate
triggering is of different types:
R-Triggering: Here the gate current is supplied by an ac source through a fixed
resistance, variable resistance and a diode. During the positive half cycle of the
input ac voltage, SCR becomes forward biased. Gate current increases as the input
increases towards peak value. When I g reaches a value equal to the minimum
current required for turning ON the SCR, it turns on. By varying the variable
resistance connected in the gate circuit, the firing angle can be varied. Limitation
of this method is that firing angle can be varied only up to 90 0.
RC Triggering: Using this circuit, a larger variation in firing angle can be obtained by
changing the phase and amplitude of the gate current. By varying the variable
resistor, the firing angle can be controlled from 0 to 180 0. In the negative half cycle,
the capacitor charges through diode D2 with lower plate positive to the peak
supply voltage. The capacitor voltage remains constant at –Emax until the supply
voltage attains zero value. Now, as the SCR anode voltage passes through zero
and becomes positive, capacitor begins to discharge and charge in the opposite
direction. When the capacitor charges to positive voltage equal to gate trigger
voltage Vgt , SCR is triggered, and after this capacitor holds to V gt . During the
negative half cycle, diode D1 prevents the turning on of the SCR.

UJT Triggering: UJT is often used as a triggering device for SCRs and TRIACs. Here,
UJT is used as a relaxation oscillator. The capacitor gets charged, when the supply is
ON. When the capacitor voltage becomes equal to the peak voltage, UJT turns on.
The capacitor discharges through the low resistance path containing R B1 and R1.The
pulses produced by the quick discharge of the capacitor is applied across the
gate-cathode region of the SCR, to make it turn-on. By varying the resistance Rc,
the charging of the capacitor can be varied, which in turn will vary the time at
which UJT turns on and which will vary the firing angle.
PROCEDURE:
1) Make connections as per the circuit diagram (1).
2) Switch on the supply.
3) Observe the output waveform in the CRO.
4) Vary the firing angle. Observe the change in the waveform.

AIM: To study the operation and observe the waveforms of an A.C. Voltage
controller with R & RL load.
Apparatus:

3 Lamp Load 01
THEORY:
Ac Voltage controllers are thyristor based devices which convert fixed
alternating voltage directly to variable alternating voltage without a change in
frequency. A.C voltage controller uses two thyristors connected in antiparallel.
Thyristor T1 is forward biased during the positive half cycle of the input voltage.
When T1 is triggered at a firing angle α, it starts conducting. During the conduction
period of the SCR ( from α to π for R load and from α to ( π + α ) for RL load) output
voltage follows the input voltage.
During the negative half of input voltage T1 is reverse biased and is OFF and
T2 is forward biased and it starts conducting from ( ∏ + α). Output voltage follows the
input voltage . By changing the firing angle, output voltage can be controlled.
PROCEDURE:
1) Make connections as per the circuit diagram. Use 100W / 230V lamp as the
load.
2) Keep the firing pulse selector switch in the 4 th position ( UJT relaxation
oscillator based firing) to get the required gate pulses.

THEORY:
A fully controlled converter controls output voltage in both the half cycles of
the input voltage. T1 & T2 are forward biased in the positive half cycle of the input
voltage. When triggered at a firing angle α, T1 & T2 start conducting from α. Thus
from α to π, output voltage follows positive half of the input voltage. From π to π+α,
thyristors T1 & T2 are reverse biased and T3 & T4 are forward biased . At π+α, T3 & T4
are triggered. Current flows through the load in the same direction giving a positive
value of output voltage. Thus unidirectional current flows through the load in both
the half cycles of input AC. By controlling the value of α, we can control the output
voltage.

7. SERIES INVERTER
AIM: To study the operation of a 1 series inverter.
Apparatus:

3 External power supply (0-30)V, 2A DC 01
THEORY:
In a series inverter the commutation elements are in series with the load.
Assumer that voltage across capacitor C 2 is E c in the polarity shown, Capacitor C1
is charged to (E dc +Ec) When SCR1 is fired, there will be two parallel paths for load
current I L (=i1+i2) current i1 will flow form positive dc terminal through SCR1; L1 load
and capacitor C2 to the negative supply terminal. Current i2 will flow from C1
through SCR11 and L1 to the load. The driving voltage, the circuit elements and the
initial conditions re identical for both the parts. Therefore, the two currents are
equal Hence, one half of the load current will come from the DC supply and the
other half from the discharge of the capacitor. AT the end of the half zero, SCR1
will be turned off, end the voltage across the capacitors reversed. Identical
operations take place when SCR2 is triggered.
PROCEDURE:
1. Switch ON the supply & observe for the power indication.
2. Check the firing pulses for both thyristors individually on CRO.
3. Measure the DC supply.
4. Switch off the supply and connect the circuit as per the circuit diagram.
5. Observe the output voltage waveform across the output.
6. Vary the frequency and observe and note down the change in the waveform
with frequency.

MODEL GRAPH:
44
PRECAUTION:
1. Since the DC supply is of 300V should be very cautions while handling the
equipment. Handling and manual contact of the two pins simultaneously with
the switch ON, will be hazardous.
2. When there is any indication of short circuit, press the resetable fuse for 2 to 3
sec. If power comes there is no short circuit, but only because of transient
currents, the fuse is set. But if the resetable fuse indicator glows again, there is a
problem of short circuit and connections should be checked before trying the
reset switch once again.
3. When the lamp flickering is not there, switch off the equipment and repeat the
procedure from the start. This may be due to commutation failure.
Result:
1) Explain the working of a series inverter?

3) What are the applications?
4) What are the differences between a basic series inverter and a modified

8. PARALLEL INVERTER
AIM: To study the operation of SCR parallel inverter
Apparatus:

3 External power supply (0-30)V, 2A DC 01
THEROY:
SCRs 1 &2 are the main load carrying SCR. The commutating components
are L&C. Diodes 1& 2 permit load reactive power to be fed back to the DC supply.
These are called the feedback diodes. When sCR1 is conducting supply voltage E dc
will appear across the left half of the transformer primary winding OA. Terminal O is
positive with reference to A thus, capacitor C will get charged to twice the input
voltage. The load voltage will be positive and of magnitude Edc. At the end of the
half period, SCR2 is fired. Capacitor C will immediately apply a reverse voltage of
2Edc across SCR 1 and turns it off. When SCR 1 is turned off the capacitor will
discharge through SCR2, inductor L, Diode D1 and a portion of the transfor mer
winding LA. Thus the energy stored in the capacitance will be fed back to the load
through the transformer coupling of windings LA and PQ. During this period, the
potential of point L will be fixed by the DC input supply and voltage will still be
posit ive. The load current which earlier was flowing through SCR1 will flow through
OL and diode D1 to the negative input terminal. The current through the inductor L
will now flow through D2, M, B & S2 . The trapped energy in L will be fed back to the
load. Since the point M is now connected to the negative supply terminal, the load
voltage polarity will be reversed. Also the capacitor will be charged in the opposite
direction.

9. JONES CHOPPER
AIM: To study the operation of Jones chopper.
Apparatus:

THEORY:
This chopper is an example of class D commutation. In this circuit, T1 is the

main thyristor. T 2, C, D2 & auto transformer forms the commutating circuit for the
main thyristor T1 . Therefore the special feature of this circuit is the tapped auto
transformer T through which the load current flows. Here L 1 & L2 are closely coupled
so that the capacitor always gets sufficient energy to turn-off the main SCR T 1.
Let us assume that initially capacitor E is charged to a voltage E dc with the
polarity shown . T1 ;is triggered at time t = t1, current flows through path CA -T 1-L2-D2-
CB& plate A is negative. However diode D1 prevents further oscillation of the
resonating L2C circuit. Hence capacitor C retains its charge until SCR T2 is triggered.
PROCEDURE:
1. Connect the circuit as shown in figure.
2. Connect the CRO across the output

2. C.R.O. and Probes
3. Patch Cords
4. Differential Module
5. Variable Resistive Load - 360Ω / 2A
THEORY :
This is also known as resonant commutation, load commutation. L and C are

used as a commutating components in the circuit. We have two arrangements in
class A commutation one is a high value of load RC is connected across
capacitor and another is one is small value of load RC is series with the LC circuit.
Actually in this process of commutation the forward current passing through

the device is reduced to less than the level of holding current of the device.
Hence this method also known as the current commutation method. When the
forward current is become less than zero then the device is automating turned off.
This has happened by load RL and commutation components forms an under
damped resonant circuit. When SCR is in ON Capacitor charged to E dc, When it
charges full supply voltage E dc the current passing through the device delay to a
value less than the holding current of the device, then turns off the device takes
place. This is called self commutation because SCR turns off automatically after it
has been turned ON. Turn OFF time is determined by R-L-C components. These are
most suitable for with frequency i.e., above 1000H z it is used in series inverter.

If the ‘SCR’ is active region the commutation intervals (freq. pot) only and is
dormat of the rest of the time period (Duty Cycle) is called Auxiliary Commutation.
Procedure :

2. Connect Trigger output T 1 to the gate and cathode of T 1 SCR in the power
circuit.
3. Switch ON the DC supply, trigger outputs and observe the voltage

waveforms across SCR, Load and Capacitor.
4. Vary the frequency and observe the waveforms but no use of duty cycle

5. Commutation will fails by varying R L Load as well as frequency Intervals.
6. If commutation fails switch OFF the DC supply trigger outputs and retry
again after changing the frequency.
7. Repeat the same for different values of RL & C.

3. Patch Cords
5. Variable Resistive Load 360Ω / 2A.
Theory:
In this method the LC resonating circuit is across the SCR. In this

commutations reverse voltage is applied to the thyristor to turn off it. In this
arrangement soon the supply voltage applied the capacitor C starts getting
charged up to t he E dc at no triggering signal. When thyristor is get triggered
current flows through the load RL and a pulse current through the resonating
LC circuit. When thyristor gets triggered the capacitor get discharges and
get charged in reverse direction. Due t o the reverse voltage a
commutating current is starts flows through the SCR to opposes the load
current I L. When I c > I L SCR becomes turned off. When it turns off capacitor
again gets charged through RL process continued.
From above we clear that thyristor after getting on for some time
automatically gets off and after remaining in off state for some time is again
gets turned ON. This process ON / OFF is continuous frequency of ON / OFF
states desired by commutating components. This is self commutating circuit
because turns off takes place automatically after turned ON. This type
circuits used in DC chopper circuits.

Theory:
In this type of commutation circuit the transfer of current between two

loads, that is a thyristor carrying load current is commutated by transferring its
load current to another incoming thyristor called complementary thyristor is
connected in parallel with main thyristor.
Actually in this circuit initially both T 1 & T 2 at off, when trigger pulse is
applied to the gate 0 & T 1 it is triggered I c & I L starts flowing, and C gets charged
by the supply voltage E dc. When triggering pulse is applied to the gate of T 2, it will
turned ON soon reverse voltage applies across the main thyristor and
immediately it turns off.
Now capacitor charges in reverse polarity when T 1 triggered ON the

discharging current of capacitor turns off the T 2. This is very much used
frequencies below. This is used in MC Murray bed ford inverter.

6. Regulated DC Power Supply of 30V / 2A
Theory :
In this Commutation circuit method and auxiliary thyristor T 2 is required to

commutate the main thyristor T 1. Here L, D, and T 2 are commutating
components. Initially T 2 is triggered first to charge up the capacitor, when C
has to charged fully, T 2 gets turns off owing lack of current this is due to
increase of voltage across capacitor. Then T 1 is triggered ON two currents
appears, which are load current through RL and commutation current through
C, T 2, L and D. Now capacitor starts discharging, reverse discharge is not
possible due to blocking diode D. When T 2 is triggered C gets reverse
discharging. When this discharging current that is commutating current I c
becomes more than the load current I L, T 1 get turned off. After T 1 gets off C
again get charged after fully charge T 2 gets off repeats above sat again.
Choppers and invertors under this auxiliary commutation circuit by circuit high
efficiency is possible mainly used in Jones Chopper circuit.

and capacitor.
5. Change the commutating components and observe waveforms at different

frequency and duty cycle.

THEORY :
In class E commutation the reverse voltage is applied to the current carrying

thyristor from an external pulse source across or in series with the conducting
thyristor near the commutating pulse is applied through a transistor emitter. The
turn off time of the thyristor is smaller than the width of the pulse.
When T 1 is triggered, current flows through the R load and the transistor. A
voltage V2 is connected to the collector of transistor the emitter is connected
to cathode of T 1. The voltage V2 appears across T 1 as a reverse voltage then T 1

12. 1-PH AC VOLTAGE CONTROLLER
USING RLE - LOAD
AIM : To study output waveforms of single phase voltage controller for RLE loads
using PSPICE simulation.
APPARATUS : PSPICE software.
PROBLEM : A single phase AC voltage controller is connected to a RLE load with
R=3.5Ω, L=6.5mH and voltage 0V it is supplied with a voltage of 325.27V, 50Hz supply
simulate the controller by using PSPICE for delay angle 30 degrees. Plot : 1.Output
Voltage across Load.
2. Input voltage. 3. Input current. 4. Load current.
THEORY : AC voltage controller’s are thyristor based devices ,which converts the
fixed Ac voltage into variable AC voltage with same frequency .The circuit diagram
of Single phase AC voltage controller is shown in figure .It consists of two SCR‟s
connected in anti parallel. The input and output voltage waveforms are also
shown. The SCR‟s are gate controlled and gate pulses are obtained from firing unit.
A) For R-Load: For the first half cycle of input voltage waveform SCR T1 conducts
and
gives controlled output to load. During the other half cycle of input voltage
waveform SCR T2
conducts .
During the Positive half cycle T1 is triggered at a firing angle of wt= α .T1 starts
conducting and source voltage is applied to the load from α to π. At wt= π both Vo
and Io falls tozero. Just after wt= π, T1 is reverse biased and therefore it is turned off
by self commutation.
During the negative half cycle of T2 is triggered at wt= π+α, then T2 conducts from
wt = π+α
Vo rms=Vph{[(Π−α)+(1/ 2) sin 2α] /Π}1/ 2
Where Vorms is the theoretical RMS value of the output voltage, Vph is the phase
voltage of the input voltage and α is the firing angle.
B) For RL –Load: During the first half cycle wt = 0 to π SCR T1 is forward biased and is
triggered at wt=α and output current starts building up through load .At wt=π, load
and source voltage are zero.
But the output current is not zero because of inductive load. At wt= (β>π), the load
current reduces to zero, angle β is called extinction angle. After wt = π, SCR T1 is
reverse biased, but does not turn off because the output current is not zero.
At wt=β, only when output current is zero T1 turns off. During the negative half cycle
SCR T2
is forward biased and is triggered at wt = π+α. The output current flows through t he
load in reverse direction. The operation of SCR T2 is similar as that of SCR T1 during
the period wt=π+α to wt = (2β-α) but in the negative direction. At wt= (2β-α) the
SCR t2 is commutated and the next positive half cycle will be regulated by SCR T1.
In this way the AC Voltage controller will be useful for regulating the AC voltage.
