Cycloconverter – Definition, Working, Types, and Applications
A Cycloconverter is a single stage frequency changer electronic converter, which converts alternative voltage from on fixed frequency to another frequency without
Power Electronics
Power Electronics is the branch of electrical and electronics engineering that deals in processing and controlling electrical energy required by the load.
Single Phase AC Voltage Controller – With R & RL Load Operation
The ac voltage controller also called as AC Regulator is a static power electronic circuit that converts fixed ac to variable ac. It accomplishes this task without a change in
Effect of Source Inductance on Single Phase Converter
In practice, there exists an inductance and resistance in the supply source. This inductance is known as source inductance LS and due to this the line commutation process of thyristor and
Single Phase Semi Converter With RL Load & Freewheeling Diode
In single-phase half-controlled converter one quadrant operation is obtained i.e., only positive voltage and current will be obtained at the output.
Class C or Complementary Commutation of Thyristor – Circuit & Working
In class A and class B commutation methods discussed in the earlier articles, there is only one SCR used, …
Class-B or Resonant Pulse Commutation of Thyristor or SCR
The class-B commutation of the thyristor is also called Resonant Pulse Commutation or Current Commutation. It is a type of forced commutation technique that uses a charged
Snubber Circuit – its Necessity, Design and Working
A snubber circuit is a protective circuit used to protect the SCR from false triggering and transient overvoltages. It basically consists of a
