    Cyclo Converter

    Cycloconverters are devices that convert input power at one frequency to output power at a different frequency with a single-stage conversion. There are two types: step-down and step-up. Cycloconverters use SCRs triggered at specific firing angles to produce an output frequency that is lower or higher than the input frequency. Single-phase and three-phase cycloconverters operate by selectively turning on SCRs in positive and negative groups to generate the output waveform. Cycloconverters are used for variable frequency motor speed control and providing fixed frequency power from a variable source.

    Chapter 3- CYCLOCONVERTERS

    PE-II (2160902)

    Asst Prof. Sai Pranahita
    (EE,SSIT)
    CYCLOCONVERTER
    Cycloconverter is a device which converts input power
    at one frequency to output power at different frequency
    with one-stage conversion.
    Two Types:-
    Step-down Cycloconverter: output frequency is
    lower than the supply frequency.
    Step-up Cycloconverter :output frequency is higher
    than the supply frequency.
    The input to the Cycloconverter can be single-phase or
    three-phase .
    Use of Cycloconverter:
    To provide variable frequency power from a fixed input
    frequency power (as in ac motor speed control).
    To provide fixed frequency power from a variable input
    frequency power (as in aircraft or shipboard power
    Principle of Cycloconverter Operation

    Single-phase, Step-up, Mid-point


    Cycloconverter:
    P1, P2 are for +ve group & N1, N2 are for ve group.
    SCRs P1 & N2 are forward biased for t=0 to .
    SCRs P2 & N1 are forward biased for t= to 2.
    At t1 P1 is force commutated and N2 is turned on, at t2
    N2 is force commutated and P1 is turned on and so on
    Output frequency f0=6fs(input frequency).
    Single-phase, Step-up, Bridge-type
    Cycloconverter:
    P1-P4 for +ve group; N1-N4 for ve group.
    During +ve half cycle of supply voltage P1,P2 & N1,N2
    are forward biased.
    P1,P2 are turned on together at t=0; at t1 pair
    P1,P2 are force commutated and forward biased pair
    N1,N2 is turned on.
    At t2 N1,N2 are force commutated and P1,P2 are
    turned on and so on...
    Single-phase, Step-down, Mid-point
    Cycloconverter:
    Discontinuous load Current(R-L LOAD)
    SCR P1 is triggered at t=. (N2 is not triggered) With this load current starts
    building up; load current becomes 0 at t=> but less than (+).
    SCR P1 is thus naturally commutated at t= which is already reverse biased
    after .
    After half cycle P2 is forward biased and it is triggered at t=+, load current is
    again +ve from A to O and builds up from zero.
    At t=+, load current decays to 0 and P2 is naturally commutated.
    After four +ve half cycles of load voltage & load current, SCR N2 is triggered at
    t=4+.
    As N2 is forward biased , it starts conducting but load current direction reversed.
    Output frequency, f0=(input frequency)/4
    Single-phase, Step-down, Mid-point
    Cycloconverter:

    Continuous load Current


    SCR P1 is triggered at t=. With this load current starts building up.
    At t=, P1 is reversed biased. As load current is continuous, P1 is
    not turned off at t=.
    When P2 is triggered in sequence at +, a reverse voltage appears
    across P1, it is therefore turned off by natural commutation.
    When P1 is commutated, load current has built up to a value RR.
    With the turning on of P2 at (+), output voltage is again +ve as it
    was with P1 on.
    Three Phase Half Wave
    Cycloconverters:
    Three-phase to Single-phase Cycloconverter
    Two three-phase full-wave (six-pulse) bridge converters
    (rectifier) connected back to back, with six thyristors
    for each bridge, are used.
    Progressive change in firing angle=reduction
    factor in frequency*120 degree

    reduction factor in frequency = (output frequency/


    input frequency)
    For allowing bidirectional flow of current, two half
    wave converters should be connected anti-parallel
    Positive Converter acts as a rectifier when output voltage
    is positive.
    It acts as an inverter when the output voltage is negative

    The positive (P) converter conducts, when the current is in the positive half of the
    cycle, whereas the negative one conducts with the current flowing in the negative
    half. But, in this case, i.e. circulating current mode of operation of the cyclo-
    converter, both the converters would conduct at a time, with an inter-group reactor
    (IGR) between the positive and negative groups
    CYCLO-CONVERTER, USING TWO THREE-PHASE HALF-
    WAVE CONVERTERS
    THREE-PHASE TO THREE-PHASE
    CYCLOCONVERTERS
    Two three-phase half-wave (three-pulse) converters connected back to back for
    each phase, with three thyristor for each bridge, are needed here.
