Phase control is the most common form of thyristor AC power control and a basic AC phase-control
circuit can be constructed as shown above. Here the thyristors Gate voltage is derived from the RC
charging circuit via the trigger diode, D1.
During the positive half-cycle when the thyristor is forward biased, capacitor, C charges up via
resistor R1 following the AC supply voltage. The Gate is activated only when the voltage at
point A has risen enough to cause the trigger diode D1, to conduct and the capacitor discharges into
the Gate of the thyristor turning it “ON”. The time duration in the positive half of the cycle at which
conduction starts is controlled by RC time constant set by the variable resistor, R1.
Increasing the value of R1 has the effect of delaying the triggering voltage and current supplied to
the thyristors Gate which in turn causes a lag in the devices conduction time. As a result, the fraction
of the half-cycle over which the device conducts can be controlled between 0 and 180o, which
means that the average power dissipated by the lamp can be adjusted.

RECTIFICATION:
AC Signal is rectified in the circuit with the help of full wave rectifier.
It generates pulsating DC, which is modified, and the signal is improved by installing a capacitor across it. The Peak Value
is approximately equal to the Maximum Value of AC source but in this case, drops across thyristors are also put in
consideration.

ZENER DIODE:
Zener diode is used in parallel with the rectification circuit for the protection of the circuit. Zener diode do not allow the
flow of current beyond a curtain limit.
Transistor:
Pulses generated with the help of capacitor reaches the base of the transistor and making it short circuit according to
the wave form generated cross the capacitor. Transistor is used as a switch in the circuitry.
Emitter terminal is connected with the source and SCR is connected with the collector terminal of the BJT. To provide
triggering pulses to multiple SCRs we can actually connect them in parallel
Unijunction transistor:
It is a type of transistor which has two bases and one emitter. It is used to as relaxation oscillator and triggering circuit
for scr. It has construction as shown in figure.
