Three Phase Ac Voltage Controller

This document describes a three phase AC voltage controller circuit that uses six thyristors (two per phase) to control the output voltage. The thyristors are triggered sequentially to produce an AC output voltage waveform that varies based on the firing angle. The output voltage waveform can be observed on an oscilloscope and the circuit allows controlling the speed and direction of a three phase AC motor as the load.

THREE PHASE AC VOLTAGE CONTROLLER

Aim:

To Construct Three Phase AC Voltage Controller.

Apparatus required:

1. Three Phase AC Voltage Controller kit.


2. Patch chords.
3. Power chord.
4. Lamp Load or AC motor.
5. CRO.

Circuit Diagram:

Fig: Three-phase, three-wire ac regulator


Theory:
The circuit of a three-phase, three-wire ac regulator (termed as ac to ac voltage
converter) with balanced resistive (star-connected) load is shown in Fig. 27.1. It may
be noted that the resistance connected in all three phases are equal. Two thyristors
connected back to back are used per phase, thus needing a total of six thyristors.
Please note the numbering scheme, which is same as that used in a three-phase full-
wave bridge converter or inverter, described in module 2 or 5. The thyristors are
fired in sequence (Fig. 27.2), starting from 1 in ascending order, with the angle
between the triggering of thyristors 1 & 2 being (one-sixth of the time period (°60T)
of a complete cycle). The line frequency is 50 Hz, with fT/1==20 ms.
The thyristors are fired or triggered after a delay of α from the natural
commutation point. The natural commutation point is the starting of a cycle with
period, (6/60T=°) of output voltage waveform, if six thyristors are replaced by
diodes. Note that the output voltage is similar to phase-controlled waveform for a
converter, with the difference that it is an ac waveform in this case. The current flow
is bidirectional, with the current in one direction in the positive half, and then, in
other (opposite) direction in the negative half. So, two thyristors connected back to
back are needed in each phase. The turning off of a thyristor occurs, if its current
falls to zero. To turn the thyristor on, the anode voltage must be higher that the
cathode voltage, and also, a triggering signal must be applied at its gate.
The procedure for obtaining the expression of the rms value of the output
voltage per phase for balanced star-connected resistive load, which depends on range
of firing angle, as shown later, is described. If is the rms value of the input voltage
per phase, and assuming the voltage, as the reference.

Procedure:

1. Connections are made as shown in circuit diagram.


2. First turn on SW2 (triggering pulse supply).
3. Turn on SW1 (input power supply).

4. By varying a, observe corresponding Output voltage at load terminal.


5. To verify the motor speed and direction.

Result:

Above experiment for Three Phase AC voltage controller was done and the
result was verified with Output wave form.
