Three phase full bridge inverter-120 degree mode

Inverter is a device that converts dc power into ac power at desired output voltage and frequency. The output voltage waveform of an ideal inverter should be sinusoidal. However, the waveform of practical inverter are non sinusoidal and contain certain harmonics. For low and medium power applications, square wave or quasi square wave voltages mayContinue reading “Three phase full bridge inverter-120 degree mode”

Introduction to Choppers

Many applications require DC power for its operation. For example: Battery charger, Battery operated vehicles, trolley buses etc.Each device may require different voltage level and a variable dc source can meet the requirements of different devices. What is a Chopper? A DC chopper is a static power electronic device which converts fixed DC voltage toContinue reading “Introduction to Choppers”

Effect of source inductance on the performance of phase controlled rectifier

In single phase fully controlled rectifiers, 2 thyristors conduct at any time. When the other two thyristors are triggered, the outgoing thyristors will turn off immediately. It is assumed that the incoming thyristors are turned on instantaneously and outgoing thyristors are turned off instantaneously. However, this is applicable only when the source does not haveContinue reading “Effect of source inductance on the performance of phase controlled rectifier”

Three phase Half controlled converter/ Semi-converter

Three phase half controlled converter is obtained by replacing 3 thyristors with 3 diodes in a fully controlled rectifier. Half controlled converter or semiconverter fed dc drives are used in industries which is a economical choice in some applications which does not require wide output voltage control like a fully controlled rectifier. Why half controlledContinue reading “Three phase Half controlled converter/ Semi-converter”
