shown in Fig. 4.2 (b) reveals that thyrsistor has three basic modes of operation; namely, reverse blocking
mode, forward blocking (off-state) mode and forward conduction (on-state) mode. These three modes of
operation are now discussed below:
Reverse Blocking Mode: When cathode is made positive with respect to anode with switch S open, Fig.
4.2 (a), thyristor is reverse biased as shown in Fig. 4.3 (a). 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 of a few milliamperes (or a few
microamperes depending upon the SCR rating) flows. This is reverse blocking mode, called the off-state,
of the thyristor. If the reverse voltage is increased, then at a critical breakdown level, called reverse break-
down voltage VBR, an avalanche occurs at J1 and J3 and the reverse current increases rap-idly. A large
current associated with VBR gives rise to more losses in the SCR. This may lead to thyristor damage as
the junction temperature may exceed its permissible tempera-ture rise. It should, therefore, be ensured that
maximum working reverse voltage across a thyristor does not exceed VBR. When reverse voltage applied
across a thyristor is less than VBR, the device offers a high impedance in the reverse direction. The SCR
in the reverse blocking mode may therefore be treated as an open switch.
Note that V-I characteristic after avalanche breakdown during reverse blocking mode is applicable only
when load resistance is zero, Fig. 4.2 (b). In case 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, V-I characteristic in third quadrant would bend to the right of vertical line drawn 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 as shown in Fig. 4.3 (b). 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 as shown in Figs. 4.2 (b) and 4.3 (b). 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 VB0. When forward voltage is less than VBO, SCR offers high impedance. Therefore, a thyristor
can be treated as an open switch even in the forward blocking mode.
Forward Conduction Mode: In this mode, thyristor conducts currents from anode to cathode with a very
small voltage drop across it. A thyristor is brought from forward blocking mode to forward conduction
mode by turning it on by exceeding the forward breakover voltage or by applying a gate pulse between
gate and cathode. In this mode, thy-ristor is in on-state and behaves like a closed switch. Voltage drop
across thyristor in the on state is of the order of 1 to 2 V depending on the rating of SCR. It may be seen
from Fig. 4.2 (b) that this voltage drop increases slightly with an increase in anode current. In conduction
mode, anode current is limited by load impedance alone as voltage drop across SCR is quite small. This
small voltage drop v across the device is due to ohmic drop in the four layers.

Theory and Concept
Objective:- To study UJT trigger circuit for half wave and full wave control.
APPARATUS:
UJT Firing circuit Study unit
Theory:
UJT is highly efficient switch. The switching time is in the range of nanoseconds. Since UJT exhibits
negative resistance characteristics it can be used as relaxation oscillator. The circuit diagram is as shown
with R1 and R2 being small compared to RB1 and RB 2 of UJT.
When VBB is applied, capacitor ‘C’ begins to charge through resistor ‘R’ exponentially towards VBB.
During this charging emitter circuit of UJT is an open circuit. The rate of charging 1=RC When this
capacitor voltage, which is nothing but emitter voltage, VE reaches the peak pointVP = VBB+VD , the
emitter base junction is forward biased and UJT turns on. Capacitor ‘C’ rapidly discharges through load R
2=R1C resistance R1 with time constant When emitter voltage decreases to valley point Vv, UJT turns off.
Once again the capacitor will charge towards VBB and the cycle continues. The resistor R in the circuit
will determine the rate of charging of the capacitor. If R is small the capacitor charges faster towards VBB
and thus reaches VP faster and the SCR is triggered at a smaller firing angle. If R is large the capacitor
takes a longer time to charge towards VP the firing angle is delayed.

Theory and Concept
Objective:- . To study single-phase half wave controlled rectified with (i) resistive load (ii) inductive
load with and without freewheeling diode.
Apparatus required: 1. Power thyristors
2. Rheostat
3. CRO
4. Transformer (1-phase) 230V/24V
5. Connection wires
Theory:
A semi converter uses two diodes and two thyristor and there is a limited control over the level of dc
output voltage. A semi 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. Figure shows half controlled rectifier with R load. This circuit consists of two SCRs T1 and T2,
two diodes D1 and D2. During the positive half cycle of the ac supply, SCR T1 and diode D2 are forward
biased when the SCR T1 is triggered at a firing angle ωt = α, the SCR T1 and diode D2 comes to the on
state. Now the load current flows through the path L - T1- R load –D2 - N. During this period, we 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 T2 and diode D1 are forward biased. When SCR T2 is triggered at a firing angle ωt =
π + α, the SCR T2 and diode D1 comes to on state. Now the load current flows through the path N - T2- R
load – D1 -L. 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 D1 comes to off state since the voltage
has been reversed. During the period (π + α to 2π) SCR T2 and diode D1 are conducting.

Objective:- . To study single phase (i) fully controlled (ii) half controlled bridge rectifiers with resistive
and inductive loads
Apparatus required: 1. Power thyristors
2. Rheostat
3. CRO
4. Transformer (1-phase) 230V/24V
5. Connection wires
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.
Single-Phase Full-Wave Controlled Rectifier
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.
In a semi-controlled rectifier, control is affected only for positive output voltage, and no control is
possible when its output voltage tends to become negative since it is clamped at zero volts.
As shown in Fig. (2), thyristor T1 can be fired into the ON state at any time provided that voltage vT1 > 0.
The firing pulses are delayed by an angle a with respect to the instant where diodes would conduct.
Thyristor T1 remains in the ON state until the load current tries to go to a negative value. Thyristor T2 is
fired into the ON state when vT2 > 0, which corresponds in Fig. (2) to the condition at which v2 > 0. The
mean value of the load voltage with resistive load is given by:

Objective:- To study single-phase ac voltage regulator with resistive and inductive loads
Apparatus required: Trainer Kit
CRO
Patch chords
Theory:
R- Load An AC voltage regulator consists of two SCRs connected in anti parallel During positive half cycle, the
SCR2 is forward biased. The current flow is through terminal P – SCR2 – the load and the terminal N.
During the negative half cycle the SCR1 is forward biased. The current flow is through terminal N –
SCR2 – load –terminal P.
The firing angle of the SCRs is kept at 450 If tha delay angles of the two SCRs are equal, and the input
voltage is Vm sinωt, the RMS output voltage will be given by formula stated in model calculation.
Thus by varying α from 0 to π, the RMS value of output voltage can be controlled from RMS input
voltage to 0
R- L Load
During the positive half cycle SCR2 is triggered into a firing angle delay of α, the current rises slowly due
to the inductor. The current continues to flow even after the supply voltage reverses, due to the energy
stored in the inductor.
As long as the SCR2 conducts, the conduction drop across it will reverse bias SCR1 , hence it will not
conduct even if gating signal is applied. It can be triggered into conduction during the negative half cycle
after SCR2 turns OFF. The wave forms are shown for both
continuous and discontinuous current

Theory: In the cycloconverter one group of thyristers produce positive polarity of the load voltage and the other
group produces the other polarity. One group of SCRs are gated together. Depending on the polarity of the
input only one of them will conduct. When P is positive w.r.t O then SCR1 will conduct otherwise SCR2
will conduct. Thus in both half cycles of the input the load voltage will be positive. The SCRs get turned
OFF by natural commutation at the end of every half cycle.
Depending on the desired frequency, gating pulses to positive group of SCRs will be stopped and SCRs
3& 4 will be gated SCR 3 conducts when p is +ve and SCR4 conducts when P is –ve.

Theory and Concept
Objective:- To study triggering of (i) IGBT (ii) MOSFET (iii) power transistor
Apparatus Required:- (1) Triggering kit
(2) Oscilloscope
(3) Connecting wires.
THEORY & FORMULAE USED: The meaning of IGBT, MOSFET & Power Transistor is to switch on the concerning components. Switch
on means in the case of IGBT collector to emitter should fully internally shorted i.e. voltage between
emitter and collector should be almost zero or few milli volts and in the case of non triggering conditions
emitter to collector internally totally open circuit. In the field the requirement is to operate many or atleast
two IGBTs at a time. To make proper electrically isolation in between triggering pulses is required here
we will be discussed the same. Such type of triggering circuit is use for Mosfet and for power transistor
more current is required so driver amplifier is used to drive the power transistor.
Gate Frequency Generation: The Gate frequency generation circuit is given in Fig-‘1’. To operate Gate
wave circuit +5 V DC is developed through diode D1, D2, D3, D4, C3, C4 and IC 5. IC1 is a stable multi
vibrator VR1 to control its frequency. It will give the output from pin no. 3 and fed to IC2 that is JK flip-
flop and its output will come through pin no. 14 & pin no. 15.The frequency at 14 and 15 will half the a
stable multivibrator fre-quency. The output from pin no. 15 will feed to opto coupler IC3 and output of
opto cou-pler is fed to driver transistor T1. The output of T1 will fed to the base of power transistor T2,
the process will same as IC3 and T1. The difference between them pin no 15 of IC2 will at 0o and pin no
14 of IC 2 will at 180o.
For electric isolation every opto coupler is required separate isolated 12 V supply, so it also given in
diagram.
Triggering of IGBT:
To triggering of IGBT, its required emitter to gate voltage approximates 10 V DC. To op-erate at a time
many IGBTs, electrically isolation is required. So its necessary to use opto coupler for triggering of
IGBTs at a time with perfect electrically isolation. IGBT is volt-age operated device so voltage with
current is not required the gate current almost negligi-ble. The output voltage from opto coupler is
sufficient to trigger IGBT.

The gate of IGBT should never hang in air. Because due to available voltage in air the IGBT may partially
ON and may heat & damage so its Gate to emitter a high ohmic resistance approximate 10K is hard
coupled. The IGBTs is the combination of MOSFET & power transistor to use at high voltage switching.
Triggering of MOSFET: All features to trigger the MOSFET is same as IGBT, only difference is MOSFET is used for low voltage
switching. Safety measures 10 K resistance is also required. Source to gate voltage approximate 10 V DC is
required. Same electrically isolation is required which is operate by opto coupler.
Triggering of Power Transistor: Transistor is current operated device to switching it the requirement is low voltage but few milli amps current
also. The output of opto coupler is fed to a driver transistor and transis-tor will provide sufficient power to a
drive a power transistor. Power transistor mostly used for high voltage and high frequency switching
