Experiment-4

Analysis of Single Phase Asymmetrical and Symmetrical


Semiconverter using Different Loads

Objective of the Experiment:


1. To study single phase asymmetrical and symmetrical semiconverter using R load
2. To study single phase asymmetrical and symmetrical semiconverter using RL load
3. To study single phase asymmetrical and symmetrical semiconverter using RLE load

Theory:
Semi-converters consist of a combination of thyristors and diodes and are used
to eliminate any negative voltage occurrence at the load terminals. This is
because the diode is always forward biased, whenever the load voltage tends to
be negative. We witness internal free-wheeling action and need not connect an
extra free-wheeling diode across load terminals.
Semi-converters have two configurations: Symmetrical and Asymmetrical.
In symmetrical configuration each of the legs in the bridge has one thyristor and
one diode whereas, in asymmetrical configuration one of the legs of the bridge
has two thyristors and the other one has two diodes. One important advantage of
semi- converters is that firing circuit is required for two thyristors, since there
are only two thyristors, as compared to four in case of fully controlled
converters.

Conclusion:
1. Simulation of the Single-Phase Asymmetrical and Symmetrical Semiconverter
using different loads was done successfully. The waveforms obtained are
analyzed and satisfy the theoretical results.
2. In symmetrical configuration, thyristors and diodes conduct for half the time period

3. In asymmetrical configuration, thyristors conduct for - )° and diode


conducts for .
4. Thyristor and freewheeling diode conduct at different times. Output voltage
is zero when freewheeling diode conducts.
5. Output voltage was never negative due to internal free-wheeling action.
Supply current is zero whenever internal free-wheeling action takes place.
Thus, it has quasi square wave nature.
6. In case of RL and RLE load, when the inductance value is large then,
continuous conduction occurs, otherwise discontinuous conduction occurs.
7. In case of RLE load, the output voltage becomes equal to E volts, when the
thyristor stops conducting.
