4 Inductive load 100mH
5 EMF source 0-30V
6 Regulated power supply Dual Channel 0-30 V
7 Transformer 230/0-30V
THEORY:
A single-phase half controlled converter uses two diodes and two thyristors and
there is a limited control over the level of dc output voltage. A single phase half controlled
converter is one quadrant converter. A one-quadrant converter has same polarity of dc output
voltage and current at its output terminals and it is always positive. It is also known as two pulse
converter. This circuit consists of two SCRs T 1 and T 2, two diodes D1 and D2. During the
positive half cycle of the AC supply, SCR T 1 and diode D1 are forward biased when the SCR T 1
is triggered at a firing angle ωt = α, the SCR T 1 and diode D1 comes to the ON state. Now the
load current flows through the path P - T1- R load –D1 - N. During this period, output voltage
and current are positive. At ωt = π, the load voltage and load current reaches to zero, then SCR
T1 and diode D2 comes to off state since supply voltage has been reversed. During the negative
half cycle of the ac supply, SCR T 2 and diode D2 are forward biased. When SCR T 2 is triggered
at a firing angle ωt = π + α, the SCR T 2 and diode D2 comes to ON state. Now the load current
flows through the path N - T2- R load – D 2 -P. During this period, output voltage and output
current will be positive. At ωt = 2π, the load voltage and load current reaches to zero then SCR
T2 and diode D2 comes to off state since the voltage has been reversed.

APPARATUS:

1 Single Phase Fully Controlled Bridge Rectifier module
5 Multi Meter
6 Ammeter (0-1A, MC)
7 Regulated power supply Dual Channel 0-30 V
THEORY:
The full controlled rectifier has four thyristors; two thyristors, one from top and the other
from bottom will conduct at any point of time. During positive half cycles of input voltage,
thyristors T 1 and T3 are triggered at ωt=α; similarly, T 2 and T4 are triggered at  t =    .

voltage can be either positive or negative which depends on firing angle show in below figure.

STUDY OF SPEED CONTROL OF A SEPARATELY EXCITED DC MOTOR
AIM: To control the speed of a separately excited DC motor using 1 - phase fully controlled
converter
APPARATUS:
1 1-phase full converter circuit
2 Full converter firing circuit
3 Separately excited DC motor 220v 10A
4 Tachometer contact
5 Multi Meter
6 Connecting wires

Theory:
In this experiment the speed of a separately excited dc motor is controlled by varying the
triggering angle of the thyristors. There are various industrial applications that are currently
using DC motors because of its outstanding speed controlling techniques .In this method of
speed control, the output voltage to the dc motor is controlled by varying the firing angle of the
respective thyristors. Since the output voltage depends on the firing angle and the speed of the dc
motor depends on the back emf which is directly proportional to the applied voltage V. If the
firing angle is increased from 0 to 180 deg, the output voltage decreases which ultimately
reduces the speed of the dc motor. Speed is maximum at firing angle ∝=0 deg because the
applied voltage is fed to the dc motor directly since firing angle is zero. But when ∝=180 deg the
thyristor is in off position for the entire cycle , therefore zero voltage is fed to the dc motor,
hence its speed is zero.

THEORY:
In this PWM ac dc converter, a single phase supply is converted in to dc voltage. Here, a
thyristor bridge circuit is used however a mosfet or igbt can also be used as an switching device.
Actually pulse generator is used to generate the required pulse signal for turning ON the
switching device. PWM technique is used for generating required control pulse for the switching
devices to turn ON .In PWM technique, a sinusoidal wave form is compared with sawtooth wave
and as a result a signal with modulated pulse width is generated which is fed to the

Here iG1 iG2 iG3 iG4 are fed with PWM pulses externally
Thyristors. Here T 1 and T 2 are triggered with complimentary pulses since switches in the same
leg should not be turned ON simultaneously and the same is applied for T3 and T4. Hence, the
output voltage can be regulated by changing the pulse width modulation of the control pulses.

CIRCUIT DIAGRAM:
THEORY:
A buck converter (step-down converter) is a DC-DC power converter which steps down voltage
from its input (supply) to its output (load). It is a class of switched-mode power supply (SMPS)
typically containing at least two semiconductors (a diode and a transistor, although modern buck
converters frequently replace the diode with a second transistor used for synchronous
rectification) and at least one energy storage element, a capacitor, inductor, or the two in
combination. To reduce voltage ripple, filters made of capacitors (sometimes in combination
with inductors) are normally added to such a converter's output (load-side filter) and input
(supply-side filter) Switching converters (such as buck converters) provide much greater power

efficiency as DC-to-DC converters than linear regulators, which are simpler circuits that lower
voltages by dissipating power as heat.

8 RPS , Dual Channel 0 - 30 V
Theory:
A boost converter (step-up converter) is a DC-to-DC power converter that steps
up voltage (while stepping down current) from its input (supply) to its output (load). It is a class
of switched-mode power supply (SMPS) containing at least two semiconductors (a diode and
a transistor) and at least one energy storage element: a capacitor, inductor, or the two in
combination. To reduce voltage ripple, filters made of capacitors (sometimes in combination
with inductors) are normally added to such a converter's output (load-side filter) and input
(supply-side filter).Power for the boost converter can come from any suitable DC sources, such
as batteries, solar panels, rectifiers and DC generators. A process that changes one DC voltage to
a different DC voltage is called DC to DC conversion. A boost converter is a DC to DC
converter with an output voltage greater than the source voltage. A boost converter is sometimes
called a step-up converter since it "steps up" the source voltage. Since power must be conserved,
the output current is lower than the source current

7 Connecting wires
THEORY:
The buck–boost converter is a type of DC-to-DC converter that has an output voltage magnitude
that is either greater than or less than the input voltage magnitude. It is equivalent to a flyback
converter using a single inductor instead of a transformer.[1]
Two different topologies are called buck–boost converter. Both of them can produce a range of
output voltages, ranging from much larger (in absolute magnitude) than the input voltage, down
to almost zero.
The output voltage is typically of the same polarity of the input, and can be lower or higher than
the input. Such a non-inverting buck-boost converter may use a single inductor which is used for
both the buck inductor mode and the boost inductor mode, using switches instead of diodes,.
Some times called a "four-switch buck-boost converter “The basic principle of the inverting
buck–boost converter is fairly simple while in the On-state, the input voltage source is directly
connected to the inductor (L). This results in accumulating energy in L. In this stage, the
capacitor supplies energy to the output load. while in the Off-state, the inductor is connected to
the output load and capacitor, so energy is transferred from L to C and R.

EXPERIMENT NO. 8
SINGLE PHASE PARALLEL INVERTER
AIM: To study and obtain the AC output voltage waveform of single-phase parallel inverter with
R & RL loads.
APPARATUS:

1 Single Phase Parallel Inverter module
5 Multi Meter

THEORY:
The circuit is a typical class C Parallel inverter. Assume T N to be ON and T P to be

OFF. The bottom of the commutating capacitor is charged to twice the supply voltage and
remains at this value until T P is turned on. When T P is turned on, the current flows through lower
half of the primary T P and commutating inductance L. Since voltage across C cannot
instantaneously, the common SCR cathode point rises approximately to 2V dc and reverses bias
TN Thus T N turns off and C discharges through L, the supply circuit and then recharges in the
reverse direction. The auto transformer action makes C to charge making now its upper point to
reach +2V dc volts ready to commutate Tp, When T N is again turned on and the cycle repeats.
Free wheeling diodes Dp and DN assist the inverter in handling a wide range of loads and the
value of C may be reduced since the capacitor now does not have to carry the reactive current.
To dampen the feedback diode currents within the half period, feedback diodes are connected to
tapping of the transformer at 25V tapping.

CIRCUIT DIAGRAM:

PROCEDURE:
1. Switch on the firing circuit. Observe the trigger outputs TP and TN by varying frequency
potentiometer and by operating ON/OFF switch.
2. Then connect input DC supply to the power circuit from DC Regulated power supply
(30V/2A)
3. Connect trigger outputs to Gate and Cathode of SCR TP & TN.
4. Make the interconnections as shown in circuit diagram.
5. Connect load between load terminals (100ohms/2A).

6. Connect free wheeling diodes in the circui
7. To begin with set input voltage to 15V.Apply trigger pulses to SCR and observe voltage wave
forms across load.
8. Output voltage is square wave only. Then remove freewheeling diode connections and
observe the wave forms
9. Then vary the load, vary the frequency and observe wave forms. To switch OFF the inverter
switch OFF DC input supply only. Switch OFF the trigger pulses it will lead to short circuit
10. Since the parallel inverter works on forced commutation, there is a chance of commutation
failure.
11.If the commutation fails, there is a dead short circuit in the input DC supply, which will leads
to the blown off the input fuse. Please check the fuse if the commutation fails. Preferably connect
the input DC supply from the 30V/2A regulated DC power supply unit which has over current
tripping facility thereby protect the DC supply unit.
12.If the commutation fails, switch off the DC supply first and then trigger Outputs. Check the
connections again.
