Parallel Capacitor Inverter With Feedback Diodes

The document describes a parallel inverter circuit that uses two SCRs (T1 and T2) and a commutating capacitor to generate an alternating current output. It operates in two modes: when SCR T1 is on, current flows through it and charges the capacitor positively; when SCR T2 is on instead, the capacitor discharges through it in the opposite direction. A transformer with a 1:1 turns ratio doubles the output voltage to the load. A parallel inverter with feedback diodes is also described, which uses diodes to transfer the stored energy in the capacitor to the load when the load current reverses due to its inductive nature. The parallel inverter provides a simple forced commutation circuit

Parallel Inverter OR Parallel Inverter With Feedback Diodes

Single phase parallel inverter uses commutating capacitor “C”


connected across supply source therefore it is called as parallel
inverter.
The turns ratio of half primary winding and secondary winding of the transformer
is kept unity.

The SCR T1 and SCR T2 are main SCRs from which load current passes through
it.

Mode 1 - The load current flows through path +Vdc – L – c – a – SCR T1 – Vdc
when the SCR T1 is turned on.
This will generate flux and resulting emf in the transformer primary winding ac and
bc.

The charging of capacitor is done up to 2Vdc voltage due to these induced emf.
The polarity of capacitor C is as shown. The maximum voltage withstand
capability of the SCR T2 is 2Vdc.

The induced emf in the transformer secondary is 2Vdc as there is unity turns ratio
between half primary and secondary winding. This will result flow of current
through load.

Mode 2 - When the SCR T2 is turned on, the SCR T1 is turned off due to capacitor
reverse voltage 2Vdc applied across it.

As the SCR T2 is turned on, the load current flows through path +Vdc – L – c – b –
SCR T2 – Vdc and discharging of capacitor is done through SCR T2.

The charging of capacitor again done with – 2Vdc voltage. The current flows
during this interval are in reverse direction as that of when SCR T1 is turned on.
The SCR T1 again turned on when it receives gate pulse and SCR T2 is in off
condition during this interval.

The waveforms of the output voltage become rectangular due to alternately


switching of SCR T1 and SCR T2.
Parallel inverter with feedback diodes

When load is inductive, the load current becomes out of phase with load voltage
and direction of load current reverses with respect to load voltage.

The stored energy during this interval feeds back through diodes D1 and D2. The
circuit diagram of parallel inverter with feedback diodes is shown in the figure.
When SCR T1 is switched on, the current flows through path + Vdc – c – a – SCR
T1 – L – Vdc (-). The flux generated in the transformer primary winding ac and bc
due to this current. This will result in 2Vdc voltage induced in the transformer
primary winding.
When SCR T2 is switched on, the SCR T1 is turned off due to reverse voltage of
capacitor and capacitor discharges through C – g – SCR T2 – L – D1 – d – a – f – C

The stored energy of capacitor transfers to load via transformer upper side primary
winding.
When SCR T2 is turned on, the current flows through path + Vdc – c – b – SCR T2
– L – Vdc(-) and capacitor again charges with voltage – 2Vdc.

The capacitor again discharges through path C – f – SCR T1 – L – D2 – e – b – g – C


when SCR T1 is again turned on.

This will result in stored energy of capacitor transfer to load via transformer lower side
primary winding.

Advantages - Simple forced commutation circuit. Sinusoidal waveform at output is


possible by using suitable filter circuit.

Disadvantages - The parallel inverter is useful only when load is fixed. The output
waveform changes due to change in load.

The inverter is not useful for higher power for fixed value of inductor L and capacitor C.

The design of inverter is done for fixed voltage.
