2.0 NAME OF THE EXPERIMENT: STUDY OF FIRING CIRCUITS SUITABLE FOR


TRIGGERING SCR IN A SINGLE PHASE (1-ɸ ) FULL CONTROLLED BRIDGE.

3.0 OBJECTIVE: To study the different firing circuits suitable for triggering SCR in a 1- ɸ full

Full controlled bridge

4.0 PRINCIPLE:
The circuit arrangement of a single – phase full converter is shown in figure 1 with a highly inductive
load so that load current is continuous and ripple free. During the positive half cycle, thyristors T1 & T4
are forward biased; and when these two thyristors are fired simultaneously at ωt = α ,the load is
connected to the input supply through T1 &T4. Due to inductive load, thyristors T1 & T4 will continue
to conduct beyond ωt = π , even though the input voltage is already negative. During the negative half
cycle of the input voltage, thyristors T3 & T2 are forward biased; and firing of thyristors T3 & T2 will
apply the supply voltage across thyristors T1 & T4 as reverse blocking voltage.T1 & T4 will be turned
off due to line or natural communication and load current will be transferred from T1 & T4 to T3 &
T2.Figure shows the regions of converter operation & figure shows the waveforms for input voltage,
output voltage & output currents. During the period from α to π, the input voltage Vs & input current Is
is positive, and the power flows from the supply to the load. The converter is said to be operated in
rectification mode. During the period from π to π + α , the input voltage Vs is negative & the input
current Is is positive, and there will be reverse power flow from the load to the supply. The converter is
said to be operated in inversion mode. This converter is extensively used in industrial applications up to
15 KW. Depending on the value of α ,the average output voltage could be either positive or negative and
it provides two-quadrant operation.
𝑉𝑚
The average output voltage 𝑉𝑑𝑐 = 2 cos 𝛼
𝜋
Vdc can be varied from 2Vm/π to -2Vm/π by varying α from 0 to π.
Maximum average output voltage 𝑉𝑑𝑐𝑚𝑎𝑥 = 2𝑉𝑚/𝜋
The characteristics of a single – phase bridge circuit given above bare obtained by assuming that the load
current is constant. This assumption is valid if the value of inductance on the load side (of DC reactor) is
very high. The main applications of controlled rectifiers in which the output voltage is not filtered and
only the rectified voltage is used (eg. Battery chargers, speed control of motors) the load current is not
constant. In this SCRs will turn off natural commutation at the end of every half cycle & load current
will be discontinuous.
