THEORY:

RESISTIVE LOAD

Single-phase diode rectifiers require a rather high transformer VA rating for a given dc output power. Therefore, these rectifiers are suitable only for low to medium power applications. For power output higher than 15 kW, three-phase or poly-phase diode rectifiers should be employed. There are two types of three-phase diode rectifier that convert a three-phase ac supply into a dc voltage, namely, half (star) rectifiers and bridge rectifiers., the diodes and the transformers are considered to be ideal, i.e. the diodes have zero forward voltage drop and reverse current, and the transformers possess no resistance and no leakage inductance. Furthermore, it is assumed that the load is purely resistive, such that the load voltage and the load current have similar waveforms.

RLE LOAD

This type of load may represent a dc motor or a battery. Usually for driving these loads a variable output voltage is required. This requirement has to be met by using a variable ac source (e.g. a 3 phase variable) since the average output voltage of an uncontrolled rectifier is constant for a given ac voltage. It will also be assumed in the following analysis that the load side inductance is large enough to keep the load current continuous. The relevant condition for continuous conduction will be derived but analysis of discontinuous conduction mode will not be attempted. Compared to single phase converters the cases of discontinuous conduction in 3 phase bridge converter are negligible.

OPERATION OF THREE-PHASE BRIDGE RECTIFIERS

The circuit of a three-phase bridge rectifier is shown in Fig. The diodes are numbered in the order of conduction sequences and the conduction angle of each diode is 2/3. The load current is assumed to be continuous at least one diode from the top group (D1, D3 and D5) and one diode from the bottom group (D2, D4 and D6) must conduct at all time. It can be easily verified that only one diode from each group (either top or bottom) conducts at a time and two diodes from the same phase leg never conducts simultaneously. Thus the converter has six different diode conduction modes. These are D1D2, D2D3, D3D4, D4D5, D5D6 and D6D1. Each conduction mode lasts for /3 rad and each group diode conducts for 120 and each arms diode conducts from after180o.

Shows voltages across different diodes and the output voltage in each of these conduction modes. The time interval during which a particular conduction mode will be effective can be ascertained from this table. For example the D1D2 conduction mode will occur when the voltage across all other diodes (i.e. vba, vca and vcb) are negative. This implies that D1D2 conducts in the interval 0 t /3 as shown in Fig. The diodes have been numbered such that the conduction sequence is D1 D2 D3 D4 D5 D6 D1---. When a diode stops conduction its current is commutated to another diode in the same group (top or bottom). This way the sequence of conduction modes become, D1D2 D2D3 D3D4 D4D5 D5D6 D6D1 D1D2 The output dc voltage can be constructed from this conduction diagram using appropriate line voltage segments as specified in the conduction table.

The input ac line currents can be constructed from the conduction diagram and the output current. For example

ia = io for 0 t /3 and 5/3 t 2 ia = - io for 2/3 t 4/3 ia = 0 otherwise.

THEORY

R LOAD

The thyristor conducts only when the anode is positive with respect to cathode and a positive gate signal is applied, otherwise, it remains in the forward blocking state and blocks the flow of the load current At t = 0 when the input supply voltage becomes positive the thyristor T becomes forward biased. However, unlike a diode, it does not turn ON till a gate pulse is applied at t = . During the period 0 < t , the thyristor blocks the supply voltage and the load voltage remains zero. Consequently, no load current flows during this interval. As soon as a gate pulse is applied to the thyristor at t = it turns ON. The voltage across the thyristor collapses to almost zero and the full supply voltage appears across the load. From this point onwards the load voltage follows the supply voltage. The load being purely resistive the load current io is proportional to the load voltage. At t = as the supply voltage passes through the negative going zero crossing the load voltage and hence the load current becomes zero and tries to reverse direction. In the process the thyristor undergoes reverse recovery and starts blocking the negative supply voltage. Therefore, the load voltage and the load current remains clamped at zero till the thyristor is fired again at t = 2 + . The same process repeats there after. The average DC output voltage across load is given by

VDC = Em (1+cos )/2Average current is given byIDC = Em (1 + cos )/2RAnd, the DC output power isPDC = VDC X IDC

R-L LOAD

As in the case of a resistive load, the thyristor T becomes forward biased when the supply voltage becomes positive at t = 0. However, it does not start conduction until a gate pulse is applied at t = . As the thyristor turns ON at t = the input voltage appears across the load and the load current starts building up. However, unlike a resistive load, the load current does not become zero at t = , instead it continues to flow through the thyristor and the negative supply voltage appears across the load forcing the load current to decrease. Finally, at t = ( > ) the load current becomes zero and the thyristor undergoes reverse recovery. From this point onwards the thyristor starts blocking the supply voltage and the load voltage remains zero until the thyristor is turned ON again in the next cycle. It is to be noted that the value of depends on the load parameters. Therefore, unlike the resistive load the average and RMS output voltage depends on the load parameters. Since the thyristors does not conduct over the entire input supply cycle this mode of operation is called the discontinuous conduction mode.

THEORY:

A single-phase fully controlled bridge circuit with resistive load consists of four thyristor as shown in figure. During the positive half cycle when terminal P is positive w.r.t.Q, thyristors T1 and T2 are in the forward blocking state and when these thyristors fire simultaneously at t = , the load is connected to the input through T1 and T2 Thyristors T1 and T2 are fired together while T3 and T4 are fired 180 after T1 and T2. From the circuit diagram of Fig it is clear that for any load current to flow at least one thyristor from the top group (T1, T3) and one thyristor from the bottom group (T2, T4) must conduct. It can also be argued that neither T1T3 nor T2T4 can conduct simultaneously. For example whenever T3 and T4 are in the forward blocking state and a gate pulse is applied to them, they turn ON and at the same time a negative voltage is applied across T1 and T2 commutating them immediately. Similar argument holds for T1 and T2. For the same reason T1T4 or T2T3 can not conduct simultaneously. Therefore, the only possible conduction modes when the current i0 can flow are T1T2 and T3T4.

R LOAD

A single-phase fully controlled bridge circuit with resistive load consists of four thyristor as shown in figure. During the positive half cycle when terminal P is positive w.r.t.Q, thyristors T1 and T2 are in the forward blocking state and when these thyristors fire simultaneously at t = , the load is connected to the input through T1 and T2. During negative half cycle i.e., after t = , thyristor T3 and T4 are in the forward blocking state, and simultaneous firing of these thyristors reverse biases the previously

conducting thyristors T1 and T2. These reverse biased thyristors turn off due to line or natural commutation and the load current transfers from T1 and T2 to T3 and T4. The voltage and current waveforms are shown in figure.

The average DC voltage across load isVDC = Em (1+cos )/ The average load current isIDC = Em (1+cos )/R Therefore, the DC output power isPDC = VDC XIDC

THEORY-

Introduction:-The Silicon Controlled Rectifier (SCR) is a semiconductor device that is a member of a family of control devices known as Thyristors. The SCR is a three lead device with an anode and a cathode ( us with a standard diode) plus a third control lead or gate .

Reverse Blocking Mode: When cathode is made positive with respect to anode with switch S open , thyristor is reverse biased.Junctions j1,j3 are seen to be reverse biased whereas junction j2 is forward biased. The device behaves as if two diodes are connected in series with reverse voltage applied across them. A small leakage current of the order a few milliamperes (or a few microamperes depending upon the SCR rating) flows. This is reverse blocking mode, called the off-state,of the reverse blocking mode is shown by OP. If the reverse voltage is increased, then at a critical breakdown level, called reverse breakdown voltage VBR , an avalanche occurs at J1 and J3 and the reverse current increases rapidly. A large current associated with VBR gives rise to more losses in the SCR. This may lead to thyristor damage as the junction temperature rise. It should, therefore, be ensured that maximum working reverse voltage, across a thyristor does not exceed VBR. Reverse avalanche region is shown by PQ. When reverse voltage applied across a SCR is less than VBR, the device offers high impedance in the reverse direction. The SCR in the reverse blocking mode may therefore be treated as an open switch.Note that I-V characteristic after avalanche breakdown during reverse blocking mode is applicable only when load resistance is present, a large anode current associated with avalanche breakdown at VBR would cause substantial voltage drop across load and as a result , I-V characteristic in third quadrant would bend to the of vertical line at VBR .

Forward blocking mode: When anode is positive with respect to the cathode, with gate circuit open thyristor is said to be forward biased. It is seen from this figure that junctions J1,J3 are forward biased but junction J2 is reverse biased. In this mode, a small current, called forward leakage current, flows . M represents the forward blocking mode of SCR. AS the

forward leakage current is small, SCR offers high impedance. Therefore, a SCR can be treated as an open switch even in the forward blocking mode.

Forward conduction mode: When anode to cathode forward voltage is increased with gate circuit open, reverse biased junction J2 will have an avalanche breakdown at a voltage called forward break over voltage VBO. After this breakdown, thyristor gets turned on with point M at once shifting to N and then to a point anywhere between N and K. Here NK represents the forward conduction mode. A SCR can be brought from forward blocking mode to forward conduction mode by turning it on by applying (1) a positive gate pulse between gate and cathode or (2) a forward break over voltage across anode cathode. Forward conduction mode NK shows that voltage drop across thyristor is of the order of 1 to 2 V depending upon the rating of SCR. It may also be seen from NK that voltage drop across SCR increase slightly with an increase in anode as voltage drop across SCR is quit small. This small voltage drop VT across the device is due to ohmic drop in four layers. In forward conduction mode, thyristor is treated as a closed switch.

APPLICATION

Power electronic systems are virtually in every electronic device. For example, around us:DC/DC converters are used in most mobile devices (mobile phone, pda.) to maintain the voltage at a fixed value whatever the charge level of the battery is. These converters are also used for electronic isolation and power factor correctionAC/DC converters (rectifiers) are used every time an electronic device is connected to the mains (computer, television...) AC/AC converters are used to change either the voltage level or the frequency (international power adapters, light dimmer). In power distribution networks AC/AC converters may be used to exchange power between utility frequency 50 Hz and 60 Hz power grids. DC/AC converters (inverters) are used primarily in UPS or emergency light. During normal electricity condition, the electricity will charge the DC battery. During blackout time, the DC battery will be used to produce AC electricity at its output to power up the appliances.

THEORY

A cross - sectional view of a diac showing all layer and junction in fig. If voltage V12 with terminal 1 positive with respect to terminal 2, exceed break over voltage Vbo1 and structure P1N2P2N3 conduct. In case terminal 2 positive with respect to terminal 1and when V21 exceeds break over voltage Vbo2 and structure N1P1N2P2 conduct. The term DIAC is obtained from capital letters. DIode works an AC.

The DIAC, or diode for alternating current, is a trigger diode that conducts current only after its breakdown voltage has been exceeded momentarily. When this occurs, the resistance of the diode abruptly decreases, leading to a sharp decrease in the voltage drop across the diode and, usually, a sharp increase in current flow through the diode. The diode remains "in conduction" until the current flow through it drops below a value characteristic for the device, called the holding current. Below this value, the diode switches back to its high-resistance (non-conducting) state. This behavioris bidirectional, meaning typically the same for both directions of current flow. DIACs have no gate electrode, unlike some other thyristors they are commonly used to trigger, such as TRIACs. Some TRIACs contain a built-in DIAC in series with the TRIAC's "gate" terminal for this purpose. DIACs are also called symmetrical trigger diodes due to the symmetry of their characteristic curve. Because DIACs are bidirectional devices, their terminals are not labeled as anode and cathode but as A1 and A2 or MT1 ("Main Terminal") and MT2.

DIAC is basically a two terminal parallel inverse combination of semiconductor layer that permits triggering in either direction. The characteristic of the device clearly demonstrated that there is breakdown voltage in either direction

DIAC CHARACTERISTICS:

Volt-ampere characteristic of a diac is shown in figure. It resembles the English letter Z because of the symmetrical switching characteristics for either polarity of the applied voltage.The diac acts like an open-circuit until its switching or breakover voltage is exceeded. At that point the diac conducts until its current reduces toward zero (below the level of the holding current of the device). The diac, because of its peculiar construction, does not switch sharply into a low voltage condition at a low current level like the SCR or triac. Instead, once it goes into conduction, the diac maintains an almost continuous negative resistance characteristic, that is,voltage decreases with the increase in current. This means that, unlike the SCR and the triac, the diac cannot be expected to maintain a low (on) voltage drop until its current falls below a holding current level.

Connect the mains cord to the trainer & switch On the power supply.10. Rotate the pot P1 and increase the anode voltage slowly. Here you will see that the anode current will be zero for all the values of anode voltage. 11. Now remove the Ammeter between points 6 & 7 & connect across the point 11 and 10 respectively.

12. Set the value of gate current near about 0.5mA using pot P2. 13. Rotate the potentiometer P1 in fully anti-clock wise direction. 14. Now again connect the ammeter across the point 6 and point 7, and short the point 10 and 1115. Now rotate the P1 slowly in clockwise direction & note the readings for Va (Anode Voltage) and corresponding Ia (Anode Current) in the following observation table. Note: For a proper value of gate current there will be a breakdown in the TRIAC. At breakdown condition there will be sudden increment in the anode current (Ia) and simultaneously a decrement in the anode voltage (Va). 16. If breakdown is not achieved then increase the gate current slightly (by .05mA) and repeat steps 13 to 15 and check for breakdown condition. Note: Rotate the pot P2 as precise as you can to observe breakdown of TRIAC. 17. Observe the gate current for which breakdown is achieved and plot the graph between Va & Ia. Note: Here you will observe that the value of Ia will be zero for the insufficient gate current.

An SCR is a unidirectional device as it can conduct from anode to cathode only and it cannot be conduct from cathode to anode. A triac can however conduct both directions. The TRIAC is a bidirectional, three terminal semiconductors for controlling current in either direction. The term TRIAC is obtained from capital letters. TRIode works an AC Below is the schematic symbol for the TRIAC shown in fig.

Fig: Schematic Symbol

Notce the symbol looks like two SCRs in parallel (opposite direction) with one triggers or gate terminal. The main or power terminals are designated as MT1 and MT2. When the voltage on the MT2 is positive with regard to MT1 and a positive gate voltage is applied, the left

SCR conducts. When the voltage is reversed then the right SCR conducts. Minimum holding current, Ih, must be maintained in order to keep a TRIAC conducting. A TRIAC operates in the same way as the SCR however it operates in both a forward and reverse direction. To get a quick understanding of its operation refer to its

characteristic curve below and compare this to the SCR characteristic curve. It can be triggered into conduction by either a PLUS (+) or MINUS (-) gate signal.. Obviously a TRIAC can also be triggered by exceeding the break

over voltage. This is not normally employed in TRIAC operation. The break over voltage is usually considered a design limitation. One other major limitation, as with the SCR, is dV/dt, which is the rate of rise of voltage with respect to time. A TRIAC can be switched into conduction by a large dV/dt. Typical applications are in phase control, inverter design, AC switching, relay replacement, etc.

APPLICATION

Power electronic systems are virtually in every electronic device. For example, around us:DC/DC converters are used in most mobile devices (mobile phone, pda.) to maintain the voltage at a fixed value whatever the charge level of the battery is. These converters are also used for electronic isolation and power factor correctionAC/DC converters (rectifiers) are used every time an electronic device is connected to the mains (computer, television...) AC/AC converters are used to change either the voltage level or the frequency (international power adapters, light dimmer). In power distribution networks AC/AC converters may be used to exchange power between utility frequency 50 Hz and 60 Hz power grids. DC/AC converters (inverters) are used primarily in UPS or emergency light. During normal electricity condition, the electricity will charge the DC battery. During blackout time, the DC battery will be used to produce AC electricity at its output to power up the appliances.

THEORY:-

The metaloxidesemiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) is a device used for amplifying or switching electronic signals. In MOSFETs, a voltage on the oxideinsulated gate electrode can induce a conducting channel between the two other contacts called source and drain. The channel can be of n-type or p-type and is accordingly called an nMOSFET or a pMOSFET (also commonly nMOS, pMOS). It is by far the most common transistor in both digital and analog circuits, though the bipolar junction transistor was at one time much more common. FET with an oxide coating between gate and channel is called a MOSFET (metaloxide semiconductor field effect transistor) the figure below shows the oxide, insulating the gate from the channel. MOSFET is voltage controlled device & required only small input current. Its switching speed is very high; it is used in low power high frequency converter. But it has the problem of electrostatic discharge so require special care in handling.

Here drain current is cut-off until the gate to source voltage reaches a specific magnitude. So, current control in n-channel is effected by +ve source to gate voltage If VGS is set to zero, voltage applied between D & S of the device, the absence of nchanne will result in current zero amperes With VDS some +ve voltage, VGS at zero volts & terminal is directly connected t source there are in fact two reverse biased p-n junction between the n-doped & psubstrat to oppose any significant flow between drain & source Now of VGS & VDS is set at some +ve voltage greater then zero, hence established Dgat at +ve potential with respect to source. As VGS is increase, then significant increase in drain current (ID) is called threshold voltage & given by VT. Since channel is non-existence with VGS= 0V and enhanced by the application of +ve gate-to-source voltage so this type of MOSFET is called enhancement type. So with increase in VGS, drain current increase. If we hold VGS constant & increase in level of VDS then ID will eventually reach saturation level.

THEORY:-

BASIC STRUCTURE:

The insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) combines the positive attributes of BJTs and MOSFETs. BJTs have lower conduction losses in the On-state, especially in devices with larger blocking voltages, but have longer switching times, especially at turn-Off while MOSFETs can be turned on and off much faster, but their on-state conduction losses are larger, especially in devices rated for higher blocking voltages. Hence, IGBTs have lower on-state voltage drop with high blocking voltage capabilities in addition to fast switching speeds and has become the most favored power device in Industrial application.

The vertical cross sectional structure of an IGBT is shown in Figure 1 having four alternate p-n-p-n layers with three terminals Emitter, Collector and Gate. A heavily doped p+ substrate has a lightly doped n-type drift region grown on to it by epitaxial process. Then the p-type emitter is diffused with two subsequent n-type layers over doping windows. The performance of an IGBT is closer to that of a BJT rather than a MOSFET. The circuit symbol of an IGBT are shown in the below Figure 2. When the gate is positive with respect to the emitter and this voltage is beyond the threshold value, an n channel is induced in the p-region of a MOSFET. These charge carriers forward bias the base-emitter junction of the p-n-p transistor and holes are injected into the n-type drift region. These injected holes cross the reverse biased collector junction of the p-n-p transistor and constitute the collector current. This collector current is the base current for the np- n transistor, which is properly biased in the active region. This amplifying collector current flows from the n-p-n transistor to the base of the p-n-p transistor, hence a positive feedback exits and the device turns ON

WORKING:-

When a positive voltage is applied to the collector terminal with the gate short circuited (VGE = 0) to the emitter terminal, the upper junction (J2) becomes reverse biased and the device operates in forward blocking mode i.e. there is no current flow between collector and emitter. If we set a positive voltage to VGE & VCE then a current (Ic) will flow in collector terminal. For a value less than the threshold level the collector current of an IGBT is 0mA.If we hold VGE constant and increasing the VCE then Ic will reach a saturation level. So with increase in VCE and keeping the VGE to the threshold value the collector current (Ic) will reach the saturation level. Further increase in Gate voltage the value of collector current will increase. The V-I characteristics of the IGBT is given below

This shows that the SCR is triggered. 9. Now vary the P1, there will not be any effect in the anode-cathode voltage and current of SCR. To repeat the experiment switch off the power supply and follow the procedure from step 4

THEORY:The UJT is often used as a trigger device for SCRs and TRIACs. The diode-resistance, resistance, resistance-capacitance and the diode-resistance capacitance circuit produce prolonged pulses, so power dissipation is more at the gate. The power loss can be limited by the use of this UJT in the firing circuit. Pulse triggering is preferred as it offers several merits over R and RC triggering. Gate characteristics wide spread; pulses can be adjusted easily to suit such a wide spectrum of gate characteristics. The power level in pulse triggering is low as the gate drive is discontinuous; pulse triggering is therefore more efficient. The resistor and capacitor connected to the emitter form an RC timing circuit. Normally, the value of capacitor is fixed and the value of resistor is of potentiometer type. The charging rate of the capacitor depends on the value of the resistor and since the resistor is variable the RC time constant can be controlled.

When the voltage across the capacitor is equal to more than the peak voltage VP of the UJT, it starts conducting. Since the UJT has a negative resistance, its voltage starts decreasing up to the valley voltage, and the capacitor discharges up to the valley voltage. This repetitive process produces a train of pulses at its output is shown in figure 2. From the output voltage waveform it is clear that the output pulses has a very small width and that a long relaxation time exits between the two pulses. Therefore it is said that the device is relaxed in this duration and is called the relaxation oscillator.

THEORY-

The static emitter characteristic (a curve showing the relation between emitter voltage VEand emitter current IE) of aUJTat a given inter base voltage VBBis shown in figure. From figure it is noted that for emitter potentials to the left of peak point, emitter current IEnever exceeds IEo. The current IEocorresponds very closely to the reverse leakage current ICoof the conventional BJT. This region, as shown in the figure, is called the cut-off region. Once conduction is established at VE= VPthe emitter potential VEstarts decreasing with the increase in emitter current IE. This Corresponds exactly with the decrease in resistance RBfor increasing current IE. This device, therefore, has a negative resistance region which is stable enough to be used with a great deal of reliability in the areas of applications listed earlier.
