Single Phase Dual Converter
Assumptions made
• Instant Switching of alternate SCR pair T1 , T2 and T3 , T4
• Good only when Vs has no internal impedance
• Average output reduces by IoRs
• Low duration of commutation, instantaneous current transfer between SCR pair
• Voltage drop IoRs has significant effect
Effect of Source Inductance on performance of Converter
Assumptions made
• Source impedance is totally inductive
• Load inductance is high so that output current is virtually constant
Explanation
• Because of this outgoing and incoming SCR pair conduct together
• Overlap Period : when both outgoing and incoming SCR pair conduct together
• Commutation angle of overlap angle: the angular period, when both outgoing and
incoming SCR pair conduct together
• During this overlap period, average output voltage is equal to average value of conducting
phase voltage which is zero
