Name of the experiment: Study of Half wave and Full wave Control Rectifier Using UJT, SCR,
DIAC and TRIAC.

Equipments:

1. Resistors:120Ω,330Ω,680Ω, 1KΩ, 4.7K


Ω,22KΩ and 33KΩ
2. One AC Load (Bulb)
3. One SCR (BTA 151), TRIAC (BTAl2)
DIAC (DB3) or equivalent
4. Capacitor: 0.1 pF
5. One 1 0 0 K Ω a n d One 5 0 0 K Ω
potentiometer
6. One UJT (2N2646)
7. Diodes:1N4007
8. Project Board and Wires

Task-1: Study of Half Wave Control Rectifier and its Corresponding Wave
Shapes.
THEORY:

The circuit presented in this experiment implements a controlled rectifier using SCR where natural
commutation or line commutation is used. This circuit is used for half wave rectification.
The time after the input voltage starts to go positive until the SCR is fired corresponds to an angle
called delay or firing angle. For Vm as the peak input voltage and α as the firing angle, the output
voltage, Vdc can be calculate by,
Vdc = Vm (1+cosα)/2π.

Procedure:

1. Connect the first circuit as shown in the Fig: 1 to implement the half wave controlled rectifier.
2. Remove transformer and apply 12V DC supply from Project board.
3. Observe wave shapes across Capacitor and SCR gate.
4. Now connect the transformer and observe wave shapes across the load.
5. Vary the 100 KΩ POT and note the changes among the wave shapes for three different cases.

Task-2: Study of Full Wave Control Rectifier and its Corresponding Wave Shapes
using SCR UJT and Diode.
Theory:
Single phase full controlled bridge rectifier for resistive load will be studied here using SCR and UJT.
For Vm as the peak input voltage and α as the firing angle, the output voltage, Vdc can be calculate by,

Vdc = (Vm/π ) * (1 + cosα )


= (Vm(1 + cosα )) / π

Idc = (Vm/ π R) * (1 + cosα )

Vm = (Vdc* π ) /(1 + cosα )

Task-3: Study of Full Wave Control Rectifier and its Corresponding Wave Shapes
using TRIAC and DIAC.

THEORY:
The circuit presented here uses a TRIAC connected in series with the load and it is triggered at
proper firing angle to adjust the load power. RC circuit with variable resistance, R is used to
control the triggering signal and a DIAC will be used along with the RC circuit to improve
the triggering. In practice, this simple circuit is not feasible for sophisticated applications since
the resistance, R cannot be calibrated enough to give accurate firing angle.

This experiment needs care because 220V AC power supply is involved. Don't connect
the power supply first. First make all the connections shown except the power supply. Then
ask your course teacher to check the circuit and connect the power supply.

PROCEDURES:
1. Connect the circuit as shown in Fig: 3 except the power supply connection.
2. Vary the resistance of the variable resistor and see the effect of the variation on the
brightness of the bulb.
3. Observe the wave shape on the oscilloscope. Record the changes in the wave shape
qualitatively with the variation of the resistance.
4. Why do we connect two resistances in series along with parallel to the load (Bulb)?
