Latching current.
EQUIPMENT REQUIRED:-
Setup board, Connecting Wires, Digital Multimeter
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 j
1
, j
2
and j
3
. 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(a) Fig-1(b) Fig-1(c)




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)



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 j
1
,j
3
are reverse biased whereas junction j
2
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 V
br
, 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 V
br
.
(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 j
2
will have an avalanche
breakdown at a voltage called forward break over voltage V
bo
.
When forward voltage is less than V
bo
, 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.

EXPERIMENT NO. 3


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
C
I ,
CE
V ,
B
I , and can be written as
f Q (
C
I ,
CE
V ,
B
I ). The temperature variation will cause a change in the DC current gain , and in the
collector reverse saturation current
CO
I . Consequently this thermal drift will increment the current
C
I
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
E
R is used to stabilize the bias by providing a DC negative feedback in the input
circuit. Adding a bypass capacitor
E
C across
E
R can eliminate the effect of
E
R at signal frequencies.
One quick choice of
1
R , and
2
R can be achieved using the ratio 1/3 for example if you choose k R 12
1
,
then k R 4
2
, 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
choose
2
CC
CE
V
V , and

, obviously these initial choices are subject to

change till the desired response of the circuits is obtained. The value of
CE
V is used to check if the
operating point has gone into the saturation or the cut-off region. If 0
CE
V this, will be an indication
that the transistor is operating in the saturation region. If
CC CE
V V 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).

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.

c) Transistors As A switch

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.

To Study the volt ampere characteristics of the TRIC.

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 SCRS 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 V
bo
.
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 . A thin (1000-2000A) 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 1010 -
1015 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.






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 V
gs
>o is very small of Oder few neno-ampere. As Vgs is
made negative current (i
d
) 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 v
t
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 v
t
. 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.


4.
Three method are use to lower the magnitude of V
t

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 Si
3
N
4
and SiO
2
whose dielectric constant
is about twice that of SiO
2
along. A fit constructed in this manner decrease V
t
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 V
t
.Such devices are called silicon gate MOSTRANSISTOR. All three of fabrication
method described above result in a low threshold MOS has a V
t
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 V
ss
refers to the source. V
dd
to the drain and V
gg
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 ICC
s
.
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.

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 (12000A)
oxide layer absorbs the ion. Virtually any value of V
t
can be obtain using ion implementation. In addition,
we see form consequently, due to ion implantation; there is a reduction in C
gd
and C
gs
.
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 V
gs
= o . If the gate voltage ve , +ve charge are induced in channel
through SiO
2
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
V
gs
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 SiO
2
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 :-
Setup Board, Ammeter, Volt Meter, Connecting cords.
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:-

Fig.6(a) Circuit diagram



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 = V
m
Sin t .(1)





Where V
m
=peak value of source voltage
= angular frequency of source voltage, t = time
at t = 0 , the source voltage Vs starts increasing in positive direction making the anode voltage above its
cathode voltage. thus after t = 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 . is 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

..(2)
at t = , 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:

(3)
Effect of load inductance
The natural effect of inductance is to delay the change in current at t = .the load current for resistive
load is given by

..(4)
When the load inductance is present the load current does not build up to his value but increase slowly .at
t = ,the current rise to fall to zero but the energy stored in the load inductance develops an EMF
E=

Such that when added to source voltage ,causes the SCR to be forward biased. Thus SCR keeps on
conducting beyond t = up to t = + at t = +SCR current reduce zero and SCR turned off . the
source remains contend to load from to +. 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:

Thus for the same firing angle the output voltage V
ac
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 +


Z = R2 +

By substituting I =0, t = 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



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 VT
2
> 0, which corresponds in Fig. to the condition at which V
2
> 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 T
1
and T
2
remain in the on-state beyond the positive half-
wave of the source voltage V
s
. For this reason, the load voltage v
d
can have a negative instantaneous
value. The firing of thyristors T3and T4has two effects:
a. they turn off thyristors T
1
and T
2
; and
b. After the commutation, they conduct the load current.







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:

PROCEDURE :-

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. Plot the input and output waveforms on the same graph paper.
4. Measure the average and RMS output voltage by connect the AVO meter across load resistance.
5. Turn off the power
6. Add the inductive load on the output as shown in Fig.8(b). With L=10mH measure the output voltage
and plot the output waveform.
7. Repeat step 6 with L=100mH measure the output voltage and plot the output waveforms.

AIM:-
Study of 3 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 V
AK
is positive, and a firing current pulse iGis applied to the gate terminal. To
controls the load voltage delaying the firing pulse by an angle (). As shown in Fig. (a), the firing angle
is measured from the crossing point between the phase supply voltages. At that point, the anode-to-
cathode thyristor voltage V
AK
begins 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.






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 I
load
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 resonantcircuit (reverse) current is just greater than the load current.
The SCR is turned off if the SCR remains reversed biased for t
q
> t
off
, and the rate of rise of the
reapplied voltage < the rated value.





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











Class C, C or L-C switched by another loadcarrying 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 SCR
2
is conducting. C then charges up in the polarity shown. When SCR
1
is triggered, C is
switched across SCR
2
via SCR
1
and the discharge current of C opposes the flow of load current in
SCR
2
.


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 SCRs, 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.
SCR
A
must 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, SCR
A
will 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 SCR
M
is triggered the current flows in two paths: Load current flows through the load and the
commutating current flows through C- SCR
M
-L-D network. The charge on C is reversed and held at
that level by the diode D. When SCR
A
is re-triggered, the voltage across C appears across SCR
M
via
SCR
A
and SCR
M
is turned off. If the load carries a constant current as in Fig. 3.4, the capacitor again
charges linearly to the dot as positive.





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 SCR
1
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





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






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?
