The basis of this project is to design a DC supply for home appliances but to be more
accurate, for Induction Cooktop. The method we use to design this project is by using AC/DC
converter which is single-phase full wave rectifier. The materials used in the converter is
include : thyristor, resistor, inductor, capacitor, AC supply, and switch. As for the propose,
we use a diode instead of thyristor, but to be more suitable we use thyristor as for the
design. Consists of two design as proposal which is the second one is AC/AC to AC/DC
system. It is finds that this design is not suitable and not preferable then we chose the first
one. It appears that the first design produces a superior response and more likely to whats
needed.
Introduction
Power electronics circuits convert electric power frm one form to another using electronic
devices. Power electronics circuits function by using semiconductor devies as switches,
thereby controlling or modifying a voltage or current. Applications of power electronics
range from high-power conversion equipment such as dc power transmission to everyday
appliances, such as cordless screwdrivers, power supplies for computers, cell phone
chargers, and hybrid automobiles. The design of power conversion equipment includes
many disciplines from electrical engineering. Power electronics includes applications of
circuit theory, control theory, electronics, electromagnetics, microprocessor ( for control ),
and heat transfer. So basically, we were given a task to design a DC supply for home
appliances. We decide to use AC/DC DC/DC converter as our design. As for the AC/DC, we
use a single-phase full wave rectifier circuit and for the DC/DC we use a buck converter
circuit.
For the single-phase full wave rectifier we decided to use a thyristor instead of diode
because thyristor is semi-controlled component, so it is more preferable depends on diode.
