    Gate Firing Circuits For SCR'S R-C Triggering Circuit

    Uploaded by

    B ANIL KUMAR
    This document describes an experiment to study R-C triggering of thyristors using a resistance load at different firing angles. The circuit uses a potentiometer, diodes, capacitor and SCR to trigger the SCR based on the charging and discharging of the capacitor. Varying the potentiometer controls the firing angle from 0 to 180 degrees by adjusting the rate of discharging the capacitor. Observations of output voltage, capacitor voltage and thyristor voltage are recorded for different firing angles.

    GATE FIRING CIRCUITS FOR SCR’S

    R-C TRIGGERING CIRCUIT

    AIM:
    To study “R-C Triggering” of thyristors with voltage waveform with Resistance load at different
    firing angles.

    APPARATUS:
    1. ‘RC’ firing circuit trainer kit
    2. Decade Resistance box
    3. CRO

    COMPONENT DESCRIPTION:
    1. RC : Control potentiometer - 5K Ohms
    2. D1&D2 : Diode - IN 5402
    3. C : Capacitor 4.7f/100V for R-C Triggering
    4. T : SCR-TYN 612, 12 Amp/600V
    5. Rg : Gate current limiting resistor
    6. Load : Terminals to connect load

    THEORY:
    The capacitor is connected in the circuit for shifting the phase of the gate voltage.The capacitor
    is charged through D2 upto the negative peak value of the applied voltage and it is discharged
    through potentiometer, resistor and supply. The value of R and C are choosen in such a way that
    the negative charged capacitor can be discharged fully and charged in the positive direction upto
    Vgmin between 00 to /20 of the positive half cycle. The discharging rate of the capacitor is
    controlled by the Pot. When the capacitor charges to positive voltage equal to the gate triggering
    voltage Vgt, SCR is fired and after this, capacitor holds upto a small positive voltage. Diode D 1 is
    used to prevent breakdown of the cathod to gate junction through D2 during negative half cycle.

    When SCR triggers, voltage drop across it falls to 1 to 1.5 V. This, in turn, lowers the voltage
    across R and C to this low value of 1 to 1.5 V. Low voltage across SCR during conduction
    period keeps C discharged in positive half cycle until negative voltage cycle across C appears. If
    R is more, the time taken for C to charge upto V gt is more, firing angle is more and therefore
    average output voltage is low.

    2. Connect a Rheostat of 100 Ohm between the load points.
    3. Vary the control pot and observe the voltage wave forms across load, SCR and at
    different points of the circuit.
    4. Observe the variation in the capacitor voltage with respect to the SCR voltage as RF pot
    is varied and note down the minimum and maximum value of the firing angle. We can
    vary the firing angle from 00 to 1800 approximately.
