THEORY:-

Thyristor (generally known as SCR) is a four layer, three junction, PNPN semiconductor switching device. It has three terminals, anode cathode and gate. Basically, a Thyristor consists of four layers of alternate p-type and n-type silicon semiconductors forming three junctions j1, j2and j3 . A gate terminal is usually kept near the cathode terminal. The terminal connected to outer p region is called anode (A), the terminated connected to outer n region is called cathode and that connected to inner p region is called the gate (G). The symbol of SCR is shown in figure.

Fig -1(d) V-I Characteristic

A circuit diagram for obtaining static V-I characteristics of a Thyristor is shown in fig.

Fig-1(e)

Page 6: 238218643 jit final-manual-of-power-elx

Fig-1(f)

The anode and cathode are connected to main source through the load. The gate and cathode are fed from a source Vs which gives positive gate current from gate to cathode. Fig. shown static V-I characteristics of Thyristor .Va is the anode voltage across Thyristor terminals A, K and Ia is the anode current. Fig reveals that a Thyristor has three basic modes of operation, namely, reverse blocking mode, forward blocking mode (off-state) and forward conduction mode (on-state) .These three modes of operation are now discussed below.

(a). When cathode is made positive with respect to anode with gate open, Thyristor is reverse biased. Junction j1,j3 are reverse biased whereas junction j2 is forward biased .

The device behaves like two diodes connected in series with reverse voltage appearing across them. A small leakage current of the order of a few milliampeares or few microamperes flows depending upon the SCR rating. This is reverse blocking mode, called reverse breakdown voltage Vbr , an avalanche occurs at j1 and j3 and the reverse current increases rapidly. A large current associated with V bb gives rise to more losses in the Thyristor. This may lead to Thyristor damage as the junction temperature may exceed its permissible temperature rise . It should, therefore, be ensured that maximum working reverse voltage across a SCR does not exceed Vbr.

(b). Forward blocking mode: When anode is positive with respect to the cathode with gate circuit open, SCR is said to be forward biased. During this mode, junction j1, j3 are forward biased but junction j 2 is reversed biased. In this mode, a small current, called forward leakage current, flows.

In case the forward voltage is increased, then the reverse biased junction j2 will have an avalanche breakdown at a voltage called forward break over voltage Vbo.

When forward voltage is less than Vbo, Thyristor offers high impedance. Therefore, a SCR can be treated as an open switch even in the forward blocking mode.

(C). Forward conduction mode: In this mode, SCR conducts currents from anode to cathode with a very small voltage drop across it. A SCR is brought from forward blocking mode to forward conduction mode by turning it on by exceeding the forward break over voltage or by applying a gate4 pulse between gate and cathode. In this mode, SCR is on state and behaves like a closed switch. Voltage drop across Thyristor in the on state is of the order of 1 to 2 volt depending on the rating of Thyristor . This voltage drop increases slightly with UN-Increase in anode current. In conduction mode anode current is limited by load impedance alone as voltage drop across Thyristor quite small. This small voltage drop V t across the device is due holmic drop in four layers.

AIM :-

To study V-I characteristics of BJT

EQUIPMENT REQUIRED:-

Setup Board, Ammeter, Volt Meter, Connecting cords.

THEORY:-

Transistors are known as a three terminals semiconductor devices. There are two main types: bipolar junction transistors (BJT) and Field-effect transistors (FET). The BJT is made of either germanium or silicon. Each of these materials is "doped" to give the n-type (in which electrons are the majority carriers) and p-type ( holes are the majority carriers). The BJT device is made as follows: a thin region of n-type material is sandwiched between two regions of p-type material to make a pnp transistor. The same method is used to make a npn transistor. The boundaries between the n and p regions in a BJT are called junctions and the corresponding user terminal names for the npn regions are the Collector, the Base, and the Emitter. BJTs are current controlled devices. In silicon BJT, the forward bias on the base-emitter junction must exceed 0.7 V to activate the device and to allow the majority carriers (current) to flow across the junction with little resistance. In germanium transistors the forward bias must exceed 0.3 V. Fig.3(a) shows the BJT symbol for npn and pnp-type. The second type of the three terminal semiconductor devices is the field-effect transistors FET. Metal-Oxide semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor (MOSFET) is the most popular kind of the field-effect transistors. It is characterized as a voltage controlled device. The source and drain of a MOSFET are formed by diffusing impurities into a substrate of one type (n-type or p-type) to make regions of opposite type. The gate consists of a layer of aluminum evaporated on to a very thin layer of silicon dioxide, which insulates it from the substrate. The main advantages of the MOSFET over the BJT are: easy to manufacture, small size, high input impedance, and less power consumption.

MSOFET is considered the basic building cell in most of the VLSI applications, such as, digital logic, memories, microprocessors, microcontrollers, buffer amplifiers, and analog switches. However the BJT maintains its position in the applications that require high power and high frequencies. Fig.3(b) shows the MOSFET symbol for N-channel, and P-channel MOSFET transistors (depletion type).

Fig. 3.(a) Fig. 3(b)

The DC bias, and circuits configurations are the two main issues that concern the first time circuit designer. The DC bias establishes the static operating point for the device, while the decision of using a certain configuration depends mainly on the type of application for example, a current source or voltage amplifier with high input impedance. In the following sections you will practice a simple approach to establish the operating point of the BJT by looking at the V-I characteristics or maximum rating of the device used in the design. Also you will explore the different types of transistor circuit configurations and amplifier classes.

a) DC Bias and Operating Point

The DC bias is used to establish a starting point in the V-I characteristic of any active device such as BJTs and MOSFETs. The bias is made possible by using DC power source, and a number of resistive elements. Therefore, the simple electronic circuit will be consisting of the three terminal device surrounded by a resistive circuit and all attached to a single or double DC power supply. The location of

the operating point in a BJT (Q ) depends on the following values IC , V CE ,IB , and can be written as Q=f (IC , V CE ,IB ). The temperature variation will cause a change in the DC current gainβ , and in the

collector reverse saturation current ICO . Consequently this thermal drift will increment the current IC and change the location of the operating point. If the thermal drift continues, the device could be driven into the saturation region without applying any input signal. A number of biasing schemes have been used in designing BJT circuits to avoid such instability. The self-bias CE with single power supply is shown in

fig. 3(b). The resistor RE is used to stabilize the bias by providing a DC negative feedback in the input

circuit. Adding a bypass capacitor CE across RE can eliminate the effect of RE at signal frequencies.

One quick choice ofR1 , and Ralignl¿2 ¿ ¿¿ can be achieved using the ratio 1/3 for example if you choose R1=12 k ,

then R2=4 k , and all related values can be computed. The operating point location can be chosen the

same way for example if you want to locate the Q point at the middle of the V-I characteristics simply

chooseV CE=

V CC

2 , andIC=

ICsaturation

2=

V CC

2∗(RC+RE) , obviously these initial choices are subject to

change till the desired response of the circuits is obtained. The value of V CE is used to check if the

operating point has gone into the saturation or the cut-off region. If V CE=0 this, will be an indication

that the transistor is operating in the saturation region. If V CE=V CC this, will be an indication that the transistor is operating in the cutoff region. In the MOSFET circuits, biasing technique that stabilize or

controls the deviations in the Q point is similar to those used in BJT circuits see figure 3(b).

Page 18: 238218643 jit final-manual-of-power-elx

Fig.3(c)

b) Single -Stage Amplifier configurations

Three different amplifier circuit configurations can be obtained by selecting one of the transistor terminals as a common between input circuit and output circuit. In the BJT circuits, figure 3(c) shows these configurations, which are known as Common Base (CB), Common Emitter (CE), and Common Collector (CC). These amplifier circuit configurations lead to significant changes in the amplifier characteristics. The most noticeable changes in CC (emitter follower) configurations are: the input resistance becomes very high and the gain is close to the unity. These specific characteristics are translated into a useful application known as buffer amplifier. Therefore amplifier configurations are employed to widen the scope of the amplifier circuit applications.

Fig. 3.(d)

c) Transistors As A switch

Page 19: 238218643 jit final-manual-of-power-elx

The initial location of the operating point Q within the V-I characteristics of the transistors is

chosen according to the type of applications. Some voltage amplifier require that the Q point to be in

the middle of the V-I characteristic (active region) so that when a signal applied to the amplifier the Q point would swing evenly with the positive and the negative portions. This type of amplifier application is

called class AB amplifier. In another type of amplifier the initial location of the Q point is in the cutoff region. In this case the amplifier will be off when no signal is applied to its input and on when the signal of the right polarity is applied. This type of amplifier is classified as a class B amplifier and one example is push-pull power amplifier. The push-pull amplifier uses the full span of the V-I characteristics to

amplify the positive or the negative half of the input signal. Another application requires the Q point to

swing between the cutoff and the saturation. This means that the transistor initial Q point is in the cutoff region. A positive input signal will drive the transistor to the saturation region. This extreme swing of the

operating point Q is needed in some applications such as switching circuits. Figure 3(d)shows the digital logic inverter using the BJT and the MOSFET operating in Cutoff-Saturation mode. The truth table for both circuits is shown below.

INTRODUCTION :-

In the Thyristor family, after the SCR, the TRIAC is the most widely used device for power control. Fig-a gives the structure of the TRIAC while Fig -b, gives its circuit symbol. In similarity with an SCR, TRIAC is also a four layer semiconductor device with three terminals.

Main Terminal 1(MT1)

Main Terminal 2(MT2)

Gate Terminal G.

THEORY:-

However unlike SCR, a TRIC is bidirectional device i.e. ,it can block voltages of either polarity and conduct in either direction. A pulse of either polarity can switch A TRIC form OFF state to ON state. Accordingly a TRIC may be considered as to SCR’S connected in parallel but in opposite direction.

This becomes obvious from the study of the structure shown Fig 4(a). Gate terminal makes ohmic (non rectifying) contacts with both n and p material, thus permitting either a positive or a negative trigger pulse to causes current flow. Fig-gives volt ampere characteristics of a TRIAC .It may be seen that TRIAC has same ON state and OFF state areas as SCR but this is true for positive and negative applied voltage. Positive bias operation of TRIAC is taken as one when the terminal 2 is positive with respect to terminal 1. This is shown in the first quadrant in Fig2. On the other hand negative bias operation of TRIAC is one in which terminal w is negative with respect to terminal 1 as shown in third quadrant . In similarly with an SCR and TRIAC change state from OFF to ON AT THE breakdown voltage Vbo.

Gate triggering may occur in one of the following diodes.

Quadrant I operation : V21 positive : Vg1 positive.

Quadrant II operation : V21 positive : Vg1 negative.

Quadrant III operation : V21 negative : Vg1 negative.

Quadrant IV operation : V21 negative : Vg1 positive.

AIM :-

To Study the volt ampere characteristics of the MOSFET.

EQUIPMENT REQUIRED :-

Setup Board, Ammeter, Volt Meter, Connecting cords.

THEORETICAL BACKGROUND :-

Metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor is an important. Semiconductor device and is widely used in many circuit application. The impedance of a MOSFET is much more than that of a FET because a very small gate leakage current. The p-channel MOSFET consist of a lightly doped n-type substrate into which to highly doped p-region are diffused as shown in fig1 this p+ section ,which will act as the sources and drain , are separated by about 5-10 µ. A thin (1000°-2000°A) layer of insulating silicon dioxide (SiO2) is grown over the surface of the structure, and holes are cut in to the oxide layer allowing contact with the source and drain . Than the gate metal area is overlap on the oxide, covering the entire channel region. Simultaneously, metal contacts are made to drain and source, as shown in fig1.the contact to the metal over the channel area is the gate terminal. The chip area of a MOSFET is three square miles or less, which is only about five percent of the reacquired by a bipolar junction transistor. The metal are a of the gate, in conjunction with the insulating dielectric oxide layer and the semiconductor channel, from a parallel plate capacitor. The insulating layer of the silicon dioxide is the reason why this device is the insulator gate field effect transistor. This layer result in an extremely high input resistance 1010Ω - 1015Ω for the MOSFET. The p-channel enhancement MOSFET is the most commonly available filed effect device and its characteristics will now be described.

The enhancement MOSFET

If we ground the substrate for the structure of fig., apply a negative volt. At the gate , an electric field will be directed perpendicularly through the oxide . the field will end on “induced” positive charges on the

semiconductor site a shown in fig1 the positive charge, witch are minority career in the n-type substrate , from an inversion , layer . as the magnitude of the negative volt. All the gate increase, the induced +Ve

charge in the semiconductor increases. the region beneath the oxide now has p type career , the conductivity increases and current flow source to drain through the induced channel.Thus the drain

current is enhanced by the negative gate volt.and such a device is called an enhancement type MOSFET.

Page 27: 238218643 jit final-manual-of-power-elx

Fig.5 (a) n channel depletion type MOSFET

Fig.5 (b) p channel depletion type MOSFET

THRESHOLD VOLTAGE:-

The volt. Ampere drain characteristic of a p channel enhancement mode MOSFET are given in fig.2(a). And its transfer in fig.2(b) the current loss at Vgs>o is very small of Oder few neno-ampere. As Vgs is made negative current (id) increases slowly at first and them much more rapidly with an increases in Vgs . The manufactures often indicate the gate source threshold volt. Vgst or vt at witch id which some defined small values, say 10micro ampere a. current id, on corresponding approximately to the max. Value given on the drain characteristics and the value of Vgs needed to obtain this current area is usually given on the manufacturers, specification. The of vt for the p channel standard or MOSFET is typically 4 volt. . it is common to power supply volt. To typically 5 volt. Used in bipolar integrated circuit, thus various manufacturing technique have been developed to reduce vt. In general.a low threshold volt allow.

1. The use of a small power supply voltage. 2. Compatible operation with bipolar device. 3. Smaller switching time due to the smaller voltage swing during switching and higher packing

densities.

Page 28: 238218643 jit final-manual-of-power-elx

4.

Three method are use to lower the magnitude of Vt

1. The high threshold MOSFET describe above uses a silicon crystal with (111) orientation. If a crystal utilized in the (100) direction it is found that a value of Vt result which is above one half that obtain with (111) orientation.

2. The silicon nitride approaches makes use of a layer of Si3N4 and SiO2 whose dielectric constant is about twice that of SiO2 along. A fit constructed in this manner decrease Vt to approx – 2V.

3. Polycrystalline silicon doped with boron is used as the gate electrode instead of aluminum. This reduction in the deference in contact potential between the gate electrode and the gate diectric reduces Vt .Such devices are called silicon gate MOSTRANSISTOR. All three of fabrication method described above result in a low threshold MOS has a Vt of approximately 4-6V.

POWER SUPPLY REQUIREMENT

Table-1 gives the voltage customarily used with high-threshold and low-threshold p-channel MOSFETS. Note that Vss refers to the source. Vdd to the drain and Vgg to the gate supply voltages. The subscript 1 denotes that the source is grounded and the subscript 2 designates that5 the drain is at ground potential.

The low-threshold MOS circuits require low power supply voltages and this means less expensive system power supplies. In addition the input voltages, and this means faster operation another very desirable feature of low-threshold MOS circuits is that they are directly compatible with bipolar ICCs. They require and produce essentially the same input and out put signal swing and the system designer has the flexibility of using MOS and bipolar circuit in the same system.

Page 29: 238218643 jit final-manual-of-power-elx

Fig. 5(d) Enhancement type MOSFET

ION IMPLANTATION

The ion implementation technique demonstrated in fig 3 provides very precise control f doping ions of the proper do pant such as phosphorus or boron accelerated to a high energy of up to 300,000 eV and are use to bombard the silicon wafer target. The energy of ion determines the depth of penetration in to the target.In those area where ions implementation is not desired, an aluminum mask or thick (12000°A) oxide layer absorbs the ion. Virtually any value of Vt can be obtain using ion implementation. In addition, we see form consequently, due to ion implantation; there is a reduction in Cgd and Cgs.

THE DEPLETION MOSFET

A second type of MOSFET can be made if, to the basic structure of fig1, a channel is defuse between the source and drain , with same type of impurity as used in source to drain diffusion . Let us now conceded such an n-channel structure as shown in fig 4 with this device an appreciable drain current Idss flows for zero gate to source voltage Vgs = o . If the gate voltage –ve , +ve charge are induced in channel through SiO2 of the gate capacitor. Since the current in an FET is due to majority carrier s (Electron for n-type material ), the induced +ve charge make the channel less conductivity and the drain current drop as Vgs is made more –ve .The redistribution of accounts for the designation depletion MOSFET. Note in fug 4b that because of the voltage drop Dew to the drain current, the channel region near the drain is more depleted than is the volume near the sources. This phenomenon is analogs to that of pinch of occurring in a jfet at the drain end of the channel. As a matter of fact, the volt ampere characteristics of the depletion mod MOS and the JFET are to quite smaller.

MOSFET GATE PROTECTION

Since the SiO2 layer of the gate is extremely thin, it may easily be damaged by excessive voltage. An accumulation of charge on an open circuited gate may result in a large enough field to punch through the dielectric to prevedent this damage some MOS device are fabricated with a ZENER diode between gate and substrate. A normal operation this diode is open and has no effect upon the ckt., however , if the voltage at the gate becomes excessive, than the diode brakes down and the gate potential is limited to a maximum value equal to the ZENER voltage .

AIM :-

To Study the output & transfer characteristics of the IGBT .

EQUIPMENT REQUIRED :-

THEORETICAL BACKGROUND :-

The insulated gate bipolar transistor combines the positive attributes of BJTs and MOSFETs BJT 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 off much faster, but their on-state conduction losses are larger, especially in devices rated for higher blocking voltage capabilities in addition to fast switching speeds.

IGBTs have vertical structure as shown infig1 .this structure is quite similar to that of the vertical diffused MOSFET except for the presence of the p+ layer that forms the drain of the IGBT. This layer forms a pn junction (labeled j1 in the figure),which injects minority carriers into what would appear to be the drain drift region of the vertical MOSFET. The gate and source of the IGBT are laid out in an inter digitized geometry similar to the used for the vertical MOSFET.

CIRCUIT DIAGRAM:-

Page 35: 238218643 jit final-manual-of-power-elx

The IGBT structure shown in fig has a parasitic Thyristor which could latch up in IGBT s if it is turned on. Then n+ buffer layer between the p+drain contact and the n+ drift layer, with proper doing density and thickness, can significantly improve the operation of the IGBT, in two important respects .it lower to the on state voltage drop of the device and, shortens the turn off time. On the other hand, the presence of this layer greatly reduces the reverse blocking capability of the IGBT.

AIM :-

To Study the single phase half wave controlled rectifier with R & RL loads and with free wheeling diode.

EQUIPMENT REQUIRED:-

Single phase half wave rectifier setup board, Patch cords oscilloscope.

THEORY:-

Line commuted controlled rectifiers from the back bone of static control of electric power in modern industries. although the half wave controlled rectifier configurations, but its study helps in understanding the behavior of full wave configuration.

CIRCUIT DIAGRAM:

Fig.7(a) single phase half wave controlled rectifier is resistive load

Let the Acvoltage fed to controlled rectifier is given by

Vs = Vm Sin ωt ………………………………………….(1)

Page 40: 238218643 jit final-manual-of-power-elx

Where Vm =peak value of source voltage

ω = angular frequency of source voltage, t = time

at ωt = 0 , the source voltage Vs starts increasing in positive direction making the anode voltage above its cathode voltage. thus after ωt = 0,SCR is forward biased .under this condition ,if a gate pulse of suitable magnitude is applied the SCR will be triggered into conduction . the SCR fails to block the voltage and almost entire source voltage appears across load . αis the angle in radians at which the gate pulse is applied . this is measured from the moment the SCR has become forward biased. During the period of conduction the load current is given by

il=

Vm

R Sinωt…………………..(2)

at ωt = π, the source voltage becomes zero hence the load current is also reduced to zero and SCR turns off. The turn off process is assisted by the reversal of source voltage. Turn off or commutation of SCR is achieved naturally by reversal of source /line voltage is called natural or line commutation.

The mean out put voltage cane be evaluated as follows:

V dc=V m

2π(1+cosα )…………(3)

Effect of load inductance

The natural effect of inductance is to delay the change in current at ωt = α .the load current for resistive load is given by

V m

Rsinα………………………..(4)

When the load inductance is present the load current does not build up to his value but increase slowly .at ωt = π,the current rise to fall to zero but the energy stored in the load inductance develops an EMF

E=didt

……………(5)

Such that when added to source voltage ,causes the SCR to be forward biased. Thus SCR keeps on conducting beyond ωt = π up to ωt = π+σ at ωt = π+σSCR current reduce zero and SCR turned off . the source remains contend to load from αtoπ +σ. this results in negative voltage appearing across load .the associated wave forms and circuit are shown as follows:

Figure. Single phase half wave controlled rectifier with RL load

The mean load voltage can now be obtained as:

Vdc= 1

2πVm sin (ωt )dωt

Vdc= 1

2πVm (–cos (ωt))

Page 41: 238218643 jit final-manual-of-power-elx

Vdc= 1

2πVmcosα+cosσ

Thus for the same firing angle α the output voltage Vac for inductive load is less than the same for resistive load. the calculation of is not straight forward ,as it involves the solution of transcendental equation. This equation is given as follows:

i = Vm/Z sin(ωt−f )+ sin∅ e¿ ¿¿

Z = R2 +ω2 L2

∅=ωL /R

By substituting I =0, ωt =φ can be obtained.

AIM :-

To Study the single phase full wave controlled rectifier with R loads .

EQUIPMENT REQUIRED:-

Single phase full wave rectifier setup board, patch cords oscilloscope.

THEORY:-

Once of the types of controlled rectifier is fully controlled and semiconductor rectifier. A fully- controlled circuit contains only thyristers (semiconductor controlled rectifiers (SCR)), whereas a semi-controlled rectifier circuit is made up of both SCR and diodes as shown in Fig.(1). Due to presence of diodes, free-wheeling operation takes place without allowing the bridge output voltage to become negative..

CIRCUIT DIAGRAM:

Fig.8(a) Single-phase fully controlled bridge rectifier

Page 44: 238218643 jit final-manual-of-power-elx

Fig.8(b) Waveforms of a fully controlled bridge rectifier with resistive load.

As shown in Fig. thyristor T1can be fired into the ON state at any time provided that voltage VT 1> 0. The firing pulses are delayed by an angle a with respect to the instant where diodes would conduct. Thyristor T1remains in the ON state until the load current tries to go to a negative value. Thyristor T2is fired into the ON state when VT2> 0, which corresponds in Fig. to the condition at which V2> 0. The mean value of the load voltage with resistive load is given by

Figure 2 presents the behavior of the fully controlled rectifier with resistive-inductive load (with L→∞). The high-load inductance generates a perfectly filtered current and the rectifier behaves like a current source. With continuous load current, thyristors T1and T2remain in the on-state beyond the positive half-wave of the source voltage Vs. For this reason, the load voltage vdcan have a negative instantaneous value. The firing of thyristors T3and T4has two effects: a. they turn off thyristors T1and T2; and b. After the commutation, they conduct the load current.

Page 45: 238218643 jit final-manual-of-power-elx

This is the main reason why this type of converter is called a ‘‘naturally commutated’’ or ‘‘line commutated’’ rectifier. The supply current iShas the square waveform shown in Fig.(2) for continuous conduction. In this case, the average load voltage is given by:

1. Connect the single phase full wave controlled rectifier circuit shown in Fig.8(a) on the power electronic trainer. 2. Turn on the power 3.

AIM:-

Study of 3Φ SCR half controlled converter

THEORY:-

Phase controlled AC-DC converters employing thyristor are extensively used for changing constant ac input voltage to controlled dc output voltage. In phase-controlled rectifiers, a thyristor is tuned off as AC supply voltage reverse biases it, provided anode current has fallen to level below the holding current.

Controlled rectifiers have a wide range of applications, from small rectifiers to large high voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission systems. They are used for electrochemical processes, many kinds of motor drives, traction equipment, controlled power supplies, and many other applications. Three- phase half wave controlled rectifier:- Fig.(1) shows the half-wave rectifier uses three common-cathode thyristor arrangements. In this figure, the power supply and the transformer are assumed ideal. The thyristor will conduct (ON state), when the anode-to-cathode voltage VAKis positive, and a firing current pulse iGis applied to the gate terminal. To controls the load voltage delaying the firing pulse by an angle (α). As shown in Fig. (a), the firing angle α is measured from the crossing point between the phase supply voltages. At that point, the anode-to-cathode thyristor voltage VAKbegins to be positive.

AIM

Study of classes of commutation A, B, C, D ,E, F.

EQUIPMENT REQUIRED

Setup Board, Oscilloscope, Ammeter, Volt Meter, Connecting cords,30/2A DC Regulated Power Supply.

THEORETICAL BACKGROUND

Class A, Self commutated by resonating the load When the SCR is triggered, anode current flows and charges up C with the dot as positive. The L-C-R form a second order under-damped circuit. The current through the SCR builds up and completes a half cycle. The inductor current will then attempt to flow through the SCR in the reverse direction and the SCR will be turned off.

Fig.11(a) resonant load commutated SCR and the corresponding waveforms.

The capacitor voltage is at its peak when the SCR turns off and the capacitor discharges into the resistance in an exponential manner. The SCR is reverse-biased till the capacitor voltages returns to the level of the supply voltage V.

Page 53: 238218643 jit final-manual-of-power-elx

Class B, Self commutated by an L-C circuit:-

The Capacitor C charges up in the dot as positive before a gate pulse is applied to the SCR. When SCR is triggered, the resulting current has two components.

The constant load current Iload flows through R - L load. This is ensured by the large

reactance in series with the load and the freewheeling diode clamping it. A sinusoidal current flows through the resonant L-C circuit to charge-up C with the dot as negative at the end of the half cycle. This current will then reverse and flow through the SCR in opposition to the load current for a small fraction of the negative swing till the total current through the SCR becomes zero. The SCR will turn off when the resonant–circuit (reverse) current is just greater than the load current. The SCR is turned off if the SCR remains reversed biased for tq > toff, and the rate of rise of the

reapplied voltage < the rated value.

Fig.11(b) Class B, L-C turn-off

Page 54: 238218643 jit final-manual-of-power-elx

Class C, C or L-C switched by another load–carrying SCR:-

This configuration has two SCRs. One of them may be the main SCR and the other auxiliary. Both may be load current carrying main SCRs. The configuration may have four SCRs with the load across the capacitor, with the integral converter supplied from a current source. Assume SCR2 is conducting. C then charges up in the polarity shown. When SCR1 is triggered, C is

switched across SCR2 via SCR1 and the discharge current of C opposes the flow of load current in

SCR2.

Fig.11(c) Class C turn-off, SCR switched off by another load-carring SCR

Class D, L-C or C switched by an auxiliary SCR:-

The circuit shown in Figure (Class C) can be converted to Class D if the load current is carried by only one of the SCR’s, the other acting as an auxiliary turn-off SCR. The auxiliary SCR would have a resistor in its anode lead of say ten times the load resistance.

SCRAmust be triggered first in order to charge the upper terminal of the capacitor as

positive. As soon as C is charged to the supply voltage, SCRAwill turn off. If there is substantial

inductance in the input lines, the capacitor may charge to voltages in excess of the supply voltage. This extra voltage would discharge through the diode-inductor-load circuit. When SCRMis triggered the current flows in two paths: Load current flows through the load and the

commutating current flows through C- SCRM-L-D network. The charge on C is reversed and held at

that level by the diode D. When SCRA is re-triggered, the voltage across C appears across SCRMvia

SCRAand SCRMis turned off. If the load carries a constant current as in Fig. 3.4, the capacitor again

charges linearly to the dot as positive.

Page 55: 238218643 jit final-manual-of-power-elx

Fig.11(d) Class D turn-off. Class D commutation by a C (or LC) switched by an Auxiliary SCR.

Class E – External pulse source for commutation:-

The transformer is designed with sufficient iron and air gap so as not to saturate. It is capable of carrying the load current with a small voltage drop compared with the supply voltage. When SCR1 is triggered, current flows through the load and pulse transformer. To turn SCR1 off a

positive pulse is applied to the cathode of the SCR from an external pulse generator via the pulse transformer. The capacitor C is only charged to about 1 volt and for the duration of the turn-off pulse it can be considered to have zero impedance. Thus the pulse from the transformer reverses the voltage across the SCR, and it supplies the reverse recovery current and holds the voltage negative for the required turn-off time.

Fig.11(e) Class E commutation

Page 56: 238218643 jit final-manual-of-power-elx

Fig.11(f) wave form of Class E commutation

Class F, AC line commutated:-

If the supply is an alternating voltage, load current will flow during the positive half cycle. With a highly inductive load, the current may remain continuous for some time till the energy trapped in the load inductance is dissipated.

Fig.11 (g) Class F, natural commutation by supply voltage

Page 57: 238218643 jit final-manual-of-power-elx

During the negative half cycle, therefore, the SCR will turn off when the load current becomes zero 'naturally'. The negative polarity of the voltage appearing across the outgoing SCR turns it off if the voltage persists for the rated turn-off period of the device. The duration of the half cycle must be definitely longer than the turn-off time of the SCR.

QUESTIONS:-

1. How to turn ON and turn OFF time of switch decide the maximum switching frequency?

2. How the reverse recovery current of free wheel diodes affects the switch current rating?
