LAB 1b Practical

This document describes an experiment to characterize the turn-on and turn-off behavior of a thyristor. Students are instructed to construct circuits using an SCR, resistors, function generators and a DC power supply. For the turn-on experiment, students will measure delay time and rise time from the anode current graph at different gate signal frequencies. For turn-off, students will vary the frequency and measure gating period, delay time, reverse recovery time and turn-off time, plotting the results. The goal is to understand thyristor switching behavior and compare simulation to practical results.

EXPERIMENT : 1b TITLE OUTCOME : TURN ON AND TURN OFF THYRISTOR CHARACTERISTIC (PRACTICAL) :

Upon completion of this unit, student should be able to: i. Handle the practical work on the power electronics converters using appropriate equipment. [CLO3](PLO2,LD2,P3) OBJECTIVES : 1. Describe the turn-on and turn-off characteristics of a thyristor 2. Describe the turn-on and turn-off process of a thyristor 3. Find the turn-on time and turn-off time of a thyristor by hardware construction COMPONENTS/EQUIPMENTS: 1. SCR 2N1595 2. Resistor 100ohm (x2) 3. Function generator (x2) 4. DC Power Supply BRIEF THEORY :

Silicon controlled rectifiers (SCRs), are one of the most popular and useful device among thyristors. It is the most popular electrical power controller due to its fast switching action, small size and high current and high voltage ratings. It has three terminals: the anode (A) and the cathode (K) are the power terminals, and the gate (G) is the control terminal. When the SCR is forward-biased, that is when the anode

is made positive with respect to the cathode, a positive voltage on the gate with respect to turns on (trigger) the SCR. However, the current through the SCR cannot be turned off using the gate. It is turned off by interrupting the anode current. A pulse signal must be applied to the gate in order for the SCR to conduct. If there is no pulse current at the gate, then the SCR will act as an open switch. PART 1: Thyristor Turn-on Characteristics PROCEDURE : 1. Construct your circuit based on Figure 1. 2. Set the Function Generator (FG) as shown in Figure 1. 3. Measure the delay time and the rise time to calculate the turn-on time. Note: Take these readings from the anode current graph (-I(R1)). PART 2: Thyristor Turn-off Characteristics PROCEDURE : 1. Construct your circuit based on Figure 2. 2. Set the VSIN as shown in Figure 2. 3. Set the Vgate as shown in Figure 2. 4. Change the frequency (FREQ) from 20kHz to 25kHz and 40kHz and measure the gating period, Delay time (Td), Reverse recovery time (Trr), rising time (Tr) and the Turn-off-time (Toff) for frequency values of 20kHz, 25kHz and 40kHz.

Results: As your result: 1. Sketch the respective graphs complete with their labels indicating gating period, Delay time (Td), Reverse recovery time (Trr), rising time (Tr) and the Turn-off-time (Toff). 2. Complete the chart below. 3. Discuss the results by comparing the simulation results and the practical results.

Part 1:

20V V1 = 0 V2 = 4V PW = 1.2us PER = 5.2us

Part 2:

V1 = 0 V2 = 4V PW = 10us PER = 50us
