PHASE CONTROLLED RECTIFIER
2.1 Introduction
Unlike diode rectifiers, phase controlled rectifiers has and advantage of controlling the output
voltage. The diode rectifiers are called uncontrolled rectifiers. When these diodes are
replaced with thyristors, then in becomes phase controlled rectifiers. The output voltagecan
be controlled by varying the firing angle of the thyristors. These phase controlled rectifiers
has its main application in speed control of DC motors.
2.2 Application
 Steel rolling mills, paper mills, textile mills where speed control of DC motors are
necessary.
 Electric traction.
 High voltage DC transmission
 Electromagnet power supplies
In this module, the following categories of phase controlled rectifiers will be studied in detail.

2.3 Single Phase Half Wave Controlled Rectifier with R Load
 The circuit consist of a thyristor T, a voltage source Vs and a resistive load R.
 During the positive half cycle of the input voltage, the thyristor T is forward biased
but it does not conduct until a gate signal is applied to it.
 When a gate pulse is given to the thyristor T at ωt = α, it gets turned ON and begins to
conduct.
 When the thyristor is ON, the input voltage is applied to the load.
 During the negative half cycle, the thyristor T gets reverse biased and gets tuned OFF.
 So the load receives voltage only during the positive half cycle only.
 The average value of output voltage can be varied by varying the firing angle α.
 The waveform shows the plot of input voltage, gate current, output voltage, output
current and voltage across thyristor.
Phase Controlled Rectifiers
2.4 Single Phase Half Wave Controlled Rectifier with RL Load
 The circuit consist of a thyristor T, a voltage source Vs, an inductive load L and a
resistive load R.
 During the positive half cycle of the input voltage, the thyristor T is forward biased
but it does not conduct until a gate signal is applied to it.
 When a gate pulse is given to the thyristor T at ωt = α, it gets turned ON and begins to
conduct.
 When the thyristor is ON, the input voltage is applied to the load but due to the
inductor present in the load, the current through the load builds up slowly.
 During the negative half cycle, the thyristor T gets reverse biased but the current
through the thyristors is not zero due to the inductor.
 The current through the inductor slowly decays to zero and when the load current (i.e
the current through the thyristor) falls below holding current, it gets turned off.
 So here the thyristor will conduct for a few duration in the negative half cycle and
turns off at ωt = β. The angle β is called extinction angle.
 The duration from α to β is called conduction angle.
 So the load receives voltage only during the positive half cycle and for a small
duration in negative half cycle.
 The average value of output voltage can be varied by varying the firing angle α.
 The waveform shows the plot of input voltage, gate current, output voltage, output
current and voltage across thyristor.
Phase Controlled Rectifiers
2.5 Single Phase Half Wave Controlled Rectifier with RL Load and
Freewheeling Diode
 The circuit consist of a thyristor T, a voltage source Vs, a diode FD across the RL
load, an inductive load L and a resistive load R.
 During the positive half cycle of the input voltage, the thyristor T is forward biased
but it does not conduct until a gate signal is applied to it.
 When a gate pulse is given to the thyristor T at ωt = α, it gets turned ON and begins to
conduct.
 When the thyristor is ON, the input voltage is applied to the load but due to the
inductor present in the load, the current through the load builds up slowly.
 During the negative half cycle, the thyristor T gets reverse biased. At this instant i.e at
ωt = π, the load current shift its path from the thyristor to the freewheeling diode.
 When the current is shifted from thyristor to freewheeling diode, the thyristor turns
OFF.
 The current through the inductor slowly decays to zero through the loop R-
freewheeling diode-L.
 So here the thyristor will not conduct in the negative half cycle and turns off at ωt = π.
 So the load receives voltage only during the positive half cycle.
 The average value of output voltage can be varied by varying the firing angle α.
 The waveform shows the plot of input voltage, gate current, output voltage, output
current and voltage across thyristor.

begins to conduct.
 When the T1 & T2 is ON, the input voltage is applied to the load through the path Vs-
T1-Load-T2-Vs.

reverse biased and turns OFF

begins to conduct.
 When T3 & T4 is ON, the input voltage is applied to the load Vs-T3-Load-T4-Vs.
 Here the load receives voltage during both the half cycles.
 The average value of output voltage can be varied by varying the firing angle α.
 The waveform shows the plot of input voltage, gate current, output voltage, output
current and voltage across thyristor.

 When a gate pulse is given to the thyristor T1 at ωt = α, it gets turned ON and begins
to conduct.
 When the thyristor T1 is ON, the input voltage is applied to the load but due to the
inductor present in the load, the current through the load builds up slowly through the
path A-T1-Load-N-A.
 During the negative half cycle, T2 is forward biased, the thyristor T1 gets reverse
biased but the current through the thyristor T1 is not zero due to the inductor and T1
does not turns OFF
 The current through the inductor begins to decay to zero and T1 conducts for a small
duration in negative half cycle..
 When a gate pulse is given to the thyristor T2 at ωt = π+α, it gets turned ON and
begins to conduct.
 When the thyristor T2 is ON, the load current shifts its path from the T1 to T2 and
thyristor T1 turns OFF at ωt = π+α.
 When T2 is ON, the current through the load builds up slowly through the path B-T2-
Load-N-B.

Circuit Diagram and Waveform of 3 Phase Half Controlled Rectifier with RL Load
 The circuit consist of a delta star transformer and 3 thyristors T1, T2, T3 which are connected on the
secondary star connected winding and a RL load.
 When Va is positive, T1 becomes forward biased and conducts. During the negative cycle of Va, the
current through T1 is not zero due to inductor present in the load.

instant, T1 turns OFF.
 During the negative cycle of Vb, the current through T2 is not zero due to inductor present in the
load.
 So T2 will remain ON during the negative cycle of Vb
 When T3 is triggered during positive cycle of Vc, the load current is transferred from T2 to T3. At
this instant, T2 turns OFF
 Similarly T3 conducts during the negative cycle of Vc and turns OFF when T1 is triggered.

Phase Controlled Rectifiers

  • 1. MODULE 2 PHASE CONTROLLED RECTIFIER 2.1 Introduction Unlike diode rectifiers, phase controlled rectifiers has and advantage of controlling the output voltage. The diode rectifiers are called uncontrolled rectifiers. When these diodes are replaced with thyristors, then in becomes phase controlled rectifiers. The output voltagecan be controlled by varying the firing angle of the thyristors. These phase controlled rectifiers has its main application in speed control of DC motors. 2.2 Application  Steel rolling mills, paper mills, textile mills where speed control of DC motors are necessary.  Electric traction.  High voltage DC transmission  Electromagnet power supplies In this module, the following categories of phase controlled rectifiers will be studied in detail. 1.

  • 2. 2.3 Single Phase Half Wave Controlled Rectifier with R Load  The circuit consist of a thyristor T, a voltage source Vs and a resistive load R.  During the positive half cycle of the input voltage, the thyristor T is forward biased but it does not conduct until a gate signal is applied to it.  When a gate pulse is given to the thyristor T at ωt = α, it gets turned ON and begins to conduct.  When the thyristor is ON, the input voltage is applied to the load.  During the negative half cycle, the thyristor T gets reverse biased and gets tuned OFF.  So the load receives voltage only during the positive half cycle only.  The average value of output voltage can be varied by varying the firing angle α.  The waveform shows the plot of input voltage, gate current, output voltage, output current and voltage across thyristor.
  • 4. 2.4 Single Phase Half Wave Controlled Rectifier with RL Load  The circuit consist of a thyristor T, a voltage source Vs, an inductive load L and a resistive load R.  During the positive half cycle of the input voltage, the thyristor T is forward biased but it does not conduct until a gate signal is applied to it.  When a gate pulse is given to the thyristor T at ωt = α, it gets turned ON and begins to conduct.  When the thyristor is ON, the input voltage is applied to the load but due to the inductor present in the load, the current through the load builds up slowly.  During the negative half cycle, the thyristor T gets reverse biased but the current through the thyristors is not zero due to the inductor.  The current through the inductor slowly decays to zero and when the load current (i.e the current through the thyristor) falls below holding current, it gets turned off.  So here the thyristor will conduct for a few duration in the negative half cycle and turns off at ωt = β. The angle β is called extinction angle.  The duration from α to β is called conduction angle.  So the load receives voltage only during the positive half cycle and for a small duration in negative half cycle.  The average value of output voltage can be varied by varying the firing angle α.  The waveform shows the plot of input voltage, gate current, output voltage, output current and voltage across thyristor.
