    This document provides instructions for constructing a battery charger circuit using an SCR. The circuit steps down household AC voltage using a transformer, rectifies it with diodes, and regulates it with a zener diode. When the SCR is forward biased by the rectified voltage exceeding the gate voltage, current flows through the battery, charging it. The instructions include a circuit diagram, explanation of how the circuit works, and procedure for constructing, testing and verifying the charger.

    BATTERY CHARGER

    AIM :- To set up a battery charger circuit by using SCR.


    APPARATUS REQUIRED :-
    1. Step down transformer (6-0-6)
    2. Diode (IN4001)
    3. Zener diode (5.6 V)
    4. Resistor (1K)
    5. Potentiometer (5K)
    6. Breadboard
    CIRCUIT DIAGRAM :-

    THEORY :-
    An SCR-based battery charger makes use of the switching principle of
    the thyristor in order to get the specific output. The circuit includes a
    transformer, rectifier, and control circuit as its major elements.
    So, initially, 230 V ac supply is provided to the step-down transformer
    which converts the high voltage given at the input of the primary winding
    into a low voltage which is obtained at the output of the secondary winding.
    So, here the voltage obtained at the other side of the transformer is 12V with
    respect to neutral.
    From the circuit, it is clearly shown that the transformer forms
    connection with the rectifier circuit, hence the output of the transformer will
    be provided to the rectifier circuit, initially, when the positive half of the ac
    input signal is applied then the diode D1 in the above-given configuration
    will be forward biased and will conduct however, D2 will be in reverse biased
    condition thus will not conduct. Conversely, when the negative half of ac
    input is applied then D1 will not conduct but D2 will be in conducting state
    Here we have used a Zener diode with breakdown voltage of 5.6 V as a
    voltage regulator to regulate the voltage level of the circuit. As the voltage at
    anode of SCR which is nothing but the rectified voltage is comparatively
    more than at gate of SCR thus, this makes the SCR forward biased, allowing
    it to conduct and due to this current will start flowing through the load ie,
    [1]
    the 6 V battery. When current flows through the battery then the cells
    present within it stores the energy. In this way, the battery gets charged.
    PROCEDURE :-
    1. Collected all the components from lab store.
    2. Checked all the components and connecting wires by using
    multimeter.
    3. Constructed battery charger circuit on breadboard as per circuit
    diagram.
    4. Noted battery voltage before it connect as load. If it is full it will
    discharge.
    5. Connected battery as load, and also noted the charging voltage.
    6. Put the battery to charge for five minutes.
    7. After five minutes again checked the battery voltage and noted it.

    RESULT :-
    Constructed a battery charger circuit and verified the voltage before
    charging and after charging.

    Battery voltage before charging =


    Charging voltage =
    Battery voltage after charging =
