33
MTECH POWER ELECTRONICS

THEORY:
A rectifier is an electrical device that converts alternating current (AC)
to direct current (DC), which flows in only one direction.A full-wave
rectifier converts the whole of the input waveform to one of constant
polarity (positive or negative) at its output. Full-wave rectification
converts both polarities of the input waveform to pulsating DC (direct
current), and yields a higher average output voltage.
The above circuit diagram is a full wave rectifier with a load
filter.Assume that the value of Ce is very large so that its voltage is
ripple free with an average value of Vo..L is the total inductance the
sorce or line inductance and is generally placed at the input side to act as
an inductance instead of DC choke.

Full wave rectifier with RL-load

THEORY:

A single phase half wave controlled converter only has one SCR is
employed in the circuit. The performance of the controlled rectifier very much
depends upon the type and parameters of the output (load) circuit.

The simulation circuit of the half wave converter is shown in fig (1) during the
positive half-cycle of input voltage, the thyristor anode voltage is positive with
respect to cathode and the thyristor is said to be forward biased. When thyristor T1
is fired at wt=α, thyristor T1 is conducts and input voltage appears the load. When
the input voltage starts to be negative at wt=∏, the thyristor anode is negative with
respect to cathode and thyristor is said to be reverse biased; and it is turned off.

40
MTECH POWER ELECTRONICS

The time after the input voltage starts to go positive until the thyristor is fired is
called the delay or firing angle α.

The simulation waveforms of input voltage, output voltage and load current are
shown in fig. This converter is not used in industrial applications because its output
has high ripple content and low ripple frequency.

Gating Sequence. The gating sequence for the thyristor is as follows:

1. Generate a pulse-signal at positive zero crossing of the supply voltage Vs.


2. Delay the pulse by desired angle α and apply it between the gate and cathode
terminal terminals of T1 through a gate-isolating circuit.

Note: Both the output voltage and input current non-sinusoidal. The performance
of the controlled rectifier can be measured by the distortion factor (DF), total
harmonic distortion (THD), PF, transformer utilization factor (TUF), and harmonic
factor.

A single phase full wave converter shown in fig (1) with


inductive load so that load current is continuous and ripple free. During positive
half cycle thyristors T1 and T2 are forward biased, when gating singles are given
to gates of T1 and T2, thyristors are turn–on. Due to the inductive load thyristors
continue to conduct beyond t=∏, even the input voltage is already negative.
During negative half cycle of input voltage, thyristors T3 and T4 are forward
biased, when gate pulses applied to gates of this thyristors they are turned-on
.thyristors T3 and T4 applies a reverse voltage across T1 and T2 as reverse
blocking voltage. T1 and T2 are turned off due to line or natural commutation.

During the period α to ∏, the input voltage Vs and input current


is are positive; and the power flows from supply to load the converter operated in
rectification mode. During period ∏ to ∏+α, the input voltage negative and input
current is positive; and reverse power flow from the load to the source .the
converter is said to be operated in inversion mode

This converter extensively used in industrial applications up to 15 kW.

APPARATUS: 1.Matlab Software

CIRCUIT DIAGRAM:

Single Phase AC Voltage Controller Using R Load

50
MTECH POWER ELECTRONICS

Single Phase AC Voltage Controller Using RL Load

THEORY:

The AC regulators are used to obtain a variable AC output voltage from a


fixed AC source. A single phase AC regulator is shown in the figure. It consists of
two SCRs connected in anti-parallel. Instead of two SCRs connected in anti
parallel, a TRIAC may also be used. The operation of the circuit is explained with
reference to RL load. During positive half-cycle SCR-1 is triggered into
conduction at a firing angle. The current raises slowly due to the load inductance.
The current continues to flow even after the supply voltage reverses polarity
because of the stored energy in the inductor. As long as SCR-1conducts,
conduction drop across it will reverse bias SCR-2.Hence SCR-2 will not turn on
even if gating signal is applied. SCR-2 can be triggered into conduction during
negative half cycle after SCR-1 turns off.

MTECH POWER ELECTRONICS

THEORY:
DC converters can be used as switching mode regulators to convert a dc
voltage normally unregulated to a regulated dc output voltage. Regulation is
normally achieved by PWM at fixed frequency and switching deive is normally
BJT,MOSFET and IGBT .Switching regualtors are comercially available as
integrated circuits.
Buck and Boost converters are the types of switching mode regulators.
In Buck regulator the average output voltage Va is lessthan the input
voltageVs.It acts as step down converter.Ciruit operation is divided into two
modes. First mode begins when transistor is switched ON at t=0, the input current
which rises flows through filterinductor L ,filter capacitor C and load resistor R.
Second begins when transistor is switched OFF at t=t1.The freewheeling diode Dm
conducts due to energy stored in inductor and inductor current continues to flow
through L,C and load and diode Dm.
In Boost regulator the output voltage is greater than the input voltage.It acts
as a stepup Converter.Circuit operation is divided into two modes.First mode
begins when transistor is switched ON at t=0, the input current which rises flows
through inductor L and transistor. Second begins when transistor is switched OFF
at t=t1. The current that flowing through transistor would now flow through L, C
,Load and diode Dm.

DIGITAL FILTER
AIM: To study the simulation of Digital Filter using matlab - simulink.
APPARATUS: 1. MATLAB Software

CIRCUIT DIAGRAM:

98
MTECH POWER ELECTRONICS

THEORY:
In signal processing, a digital filter is a system that performs
mathematical operations on a sampled, discrete-time signal to reduce or
enhance certain aspects of that signal. This is in contrast to the other
major type of electronic filter, the analog filter, which is anelectroni
circuit operating on continuous-time analog signals
A digital filter system usually consists of an analog-to-digital
converter to sample the input signal, followed by a microprocessor and
some peripheral components such as memory to store data and filter
coefficients etc. Finally a digital-to-analog converter to complete the
output stage.
Infinite impulse response (IIR) is a property applying to many linear
time-invariant systems. Common examples of linear time-invariant
systems are most electronic and digital filters. Systems with this
property are known as IIR systems or IIR filters, and are distinguished by
having an impulse response which does not become exactly zero past a

impulse response in which the impulse response h(t) does become
exactly zero at times t > T for some finite T, thus being of finite duration.

CIRCUIT OPERATION:
This unit is based on 8085 microprocessor chip. This unit generates two line
synchronized triggering pulses.RPM can be set through key board of the unit.
Firing pulses generated are based on 8253 programmable interval timer.8253 is
assigned to work in mode 5.Counter 2 of 8253 are used to generate firing pulses.
The unit is programmed to adjust its firing angle. The effect can be seen by
connecting CRO across the terminals of the motor.
The tachogenerator attached to the shaft of the motor converts rpm to DC
voltage. This voltage is sensed by microprocessor. The system generates firing
pulses to keep rpm of the motor constant. The circuit diagrams and programs are
provided with this manual. The analog voltage corresponding to rpm is converted
digital voltage by ADC 0809.Then the system compares the running RPM with the
set RPM by look up table. If the running speed less than the set speed then the
firing angle is decreased by one degree & if the running speed is more than the set
speed then the firing angle is increased by one degree. The system is keep on
comparing the set speed and running speed.
8253 configuration:
System is working with the clock frequency of 6.144 MHz This frequency is
internally divided by two in 8085 microprocessor chip. Therefore 3.072 MHz clock
is generated. This frequency is again divided by two internally. Therefore 1.536
MHz clock is generated.

105
MTECH POWER ELECTRONICS

Therefore clock time period =1/T


= 1/1.536*10e-6
=0.651 us
No. of clocks for 10ms=10 ms/0.651 us=15,360
In order to generate delay of 1 degree
Required counts=15,360/180=85
85 is in decimal number when we converted in to hexadecimal the number is
55H.Therefore the number 55H must be loaded in 8253 register in order to get a
delay of 1 degree.
Therefore if the running speed is less than the set speed then 55H is
subtracted from the content of 8253 counter 1 consequently firing angle is
decreased by one degree & if the running speed more than the set speed then 55H
is added to the content of 8253 counter 1 consequently the firing angle is increased
by one degree. The system is keep on comparing the set speed and running speed.

HOW TO CONDUCT THE EXPERIMENT:


AIM: To control the speed of the PMDC motor using thyristorised converter unit.
APPARATUS: Thyrisroised converter unit, CRO, patch cards, etc
THEORY: Rectifier converts AC supply to DC supply. with thyristor, variable
DC supply 0 V to maximum can be obtained from a fixed AC source by triggering
(turning ON) SCR i.e., by applying gate current to the SCR at any desired instant
when the SCR is applied with positive voltage to anode. Unlike diode, SCR can
block the forward voltage when gate current is not supplied. Hence converters
using SCR’s are termed as controlled rectifier. Normally for DC power
requirement such as in DC drives single phase full wave controlled rectifier are
used.
SINGLE PHASE HALF CONTROLLED BRIDGE WITH MOTOR LOADS.
When the single phase semi-converter is connected with R-L/motor load a
freewheeling diode must be connected across the load. During positive half cycle
T1 is forward biased & T1 is fired at ωt=α, the load is connected to the input
supply through T1 and D1 during period α≤ω≤π, During the period from π≤ωt≤

107
MTECH POWER ELECTRONICS

(π+α), the input voltage in negative and free wheeling diode Df is forward biased,
Df conducts to provide the continuity of current in the inductive load. the load
current is transferred from T1 and D1 to Df, and thyristor T1 and D1 are turned off
at ωt=π.During negative half cycle of input voltage, thyristor T2 is forward biased,
and the firing of T2 at ωt=π+αwill reverse bias Df.The diode Df is turned off and
the load connected to the supply through T2 and D2.
When the load is inductive and T1 is triggered, first it will conduct with D1 to pass
current through load. When the supply voltage is negative load emf will drive
current through T1D2.This is an exponentially decreasing current. When the new
negative half cycle begins T1 is in conduction and it would keep on conducting
with D1 as if triggered at ωt=0.In this case load may not receive the D.C power. To
ensure proper operation, at the beginning of positive half cycle T2 has turned off
and similarly T1 should be turned off when negative half cycle begins. This is
achieved by the free wheeling diode.
For R-L load with freewheeling diode the average output voltage can be found
from

TRIGGERING PULSES GENERATIONS:


This unit is based on 8085 micro processor chip. This unit generates four
chopper triggering pulses CH1, CH2, CH3 &CH4. RPM can be set through

114
MTECH POWER ELECTRONICS

keyboard of the unit. Triggering pulses are generated by programming 8085.


Triggering pulses are generated to operate the chopper in all four quadrants.
This unit is programmed to adjust its firing pulse width keeping frequency
constant. the effect can be seen by connecting CRO across the terminals of the
motor.
The non contact speed sensor is attached to the shaft of the motor to converts
rpm to DC voltage. This voltage is sensed by microprocessor using ADC. The
system generates firing pulses to keep rpm of motor constant. The triggering
scheme is presented in the diagrams and programs are provided with this manual.
The analog voltage corresponding to rpm is converted to digital voltage by ADC
0809. The digital signal is read by interfacing 8255 Programmable Peripheral
Interfacing 8255 device. Then the system compares the running RPM with the set
RPM by look up table. if the running speed is less than the set speed then the duty
cycle of the triggering pulses are increased by few micro seconds vice versa. The
system keeps on comparing the set speed and the running speed. In the forward
rotation of the motor chopper.
HOW TO CONDUCT THE EXPERIMENT:
AIM: To construct chopper drive circuit and to control PMDC motor.
APPARATUS: four quadrant chopper circuit, DC power supply 30V/2A, CRO,
patch cards, etc.
THEORY:
Chopper converts fixed DC voltage to variable DC voltage through the use
of semi conductor devices. The DC to DC converters have gained popularity in the
modern industry. Some practical applications of DC to DC converters includes
armature voltage control of DC voltages converting one DC voltage level to
another level , and controlling DC power for wide verity of industrial processes.
The time ratio controller (TRC) is a form of control for DC to DC conversion.
In four quadrant dc chopper drives, a motor cam be made to work in forward
motoring mode (I quadrant), forward regenerative braking mode (II quadrant)
,reverse motoring mode (III quadrant) and reverse regenerative braking mode(IV
quadrant). The circuit shown offers four quadrant operation of a PMDC motor. its
operation in the four quadrants can be explained as under.
Forward motoring mode (I quadrant): during this mode or first quadrant
operation. Chopper CH2, CH3 are kept off, CH4 is kept on where as CH1 is

115
MTECH POWER ELECTRONICS

operated. When CH1, CH4 are ON, motor voltage is positive and positive
armature current rises. When CH1 is turned off, positive armature operation in first
quadrant is obtained.
Forward regenerative breaking mode (II quadrant): A dc motor can work
in the regenerative-breaking mode only if motor generated emf is made to exceed
the dc source voltage. For obtaining this mode CH1, CH3, and CH4 are kept off
whereas CH2 is operated. When CH2 is turned on, negative armature current rises
through CH2, D4, Ea, La, and Ra. When CH2 is turned OFF, diodes D1, D4 are
turned on the motor acting as a generator returning energy to dc source. This
results in forward regenerative-breaking mode in the second-quadrant.
Reverse motoring mode (III quadrant): This operating mode is opposite to
forward motoring mode. Chopper CH1, CH4 are kept off. CH2 is kept on whereas
CH3 is operated. When CH3 and CH2 are on, armature gets connected to source
voltage Vs so that both armature voltage and armature current ia is negative. As
armature current is reversed, motor torque reversed and consequently motoring
mode in third quadrant is obtained. When CH3 is turned off, negative armature
current freewheels through CH2, D4, Ea, La, Ra; armature current decreases and
thus speed control is obtained in third quadrant. Note that during this mode polarity
of Ea is opposite to that shown in fig.
Reverse Regenerative-breaking mode: As in forward braking mode,
reverse regenerative braking mode is feasible only if motor generated emf is made
to exceed the source voltage. For this operating mode, CH1, CH2 and CH3 are
kept off whereas CH4 is operated. When CH4 is turned on, positive armature
current ia rises through CH4, D2, Ra, La, Ea. When CH4 is turned off, diodes D2,
D3 begin to conduct and motor acting as generator returns energy to dc source.
This leads to reverse regenerative-braking operation of the dc separately excited
motor in fourth quadrant.

controller & four quadrant chopper power circuit. The motor will come to its rpm
within few seconds irrespective in the variation of load. The PID trainer is to study
the characteristics of the feedback control circuit. The speed of the DC motor is
controlled by the PID (proportional integral and derivative) controller method. The
output of the controller then adjusts the value of each variable in the control system
until is it equal to predetermined value called a set point. The system controller
must maintain each variable as close as possible to its point value and it must
compensate as quickly and accurately as possible for any change in the variable
caused by the motor.
The chopper is used to convert a DC voltage of fixed amplitude to the DC of
variable pulse width. The output voltage is controlled by controlling the duty cycle
of the chopper. These choppers find application in variable speed DC motor
controls, DC power supplies, battery chargers, electric traction etc. four quadrant
choppers having applications in reversible motor drive. 3 phase AC is converted

CIRCUIT OPERATION:
This speed control unit is based on PID controller. This unit generates four
triggering pulses. RPM can be set through knob provided on the unit. The unit is
programmed to adjust its duty cycle. The unit generates four chopper triggering
pulses CH1, CH2, CH3 & CH4. RPM can set through knob of the unit. Triggering
pulses are generated to operate the chopper in all for quadrants. The unit
programmed to adjust its firing pulse width keeping frequency constant.
The feedback sensor (proximity detector) attached to the shaft of the motor is
magnetic sensor. The sensor output goes high whenever metal screw comes near
the switch. The sensor output is connected to the voltage to frequency converts.
The output voltage of the F/V converter is proportional to running rpm. Then the
system compares the running RPM with the set RPM. If running speed is less than
the set speed then the duty cycle is increased& if the running speeds more than the
set speed then the duty is decreased. The system is keeps on comparing the set
speed and running speed. In the forward rotation of the motor chopper drive is
operated in 1 and 2 quadrant. In the reverse rotation of the motor chopper operates
in the 3 and 4 quadrant.
During forward rotation of the motor the chopper operates in forward
motoring (1quadrant) &forward regenerative breaking (2quadrant) mode. During
reverse rotation of the motor the chopper operates in reverse motoring (3quadrant)
&reverse regenerative breaking (4quadrant) mode.

THEORY:
chopper converts fixed DC voltage to variable DC voltage through the use of

In four quadrant dc chopper drives, a motor can be made to work in

excited dc motor. This circuit consists of 3 phase fed diode rectifier, four choppers,

124
MTECH POWER ELECTRONICS

four diodes and a separately-excited dc motor. Its operation in the four quadrants
can be explained as under.
Forward motoring mode (1quadrant): during this mode or first-quadrant
operation, chopper CH2, CH3 are kept off, CH4 is kept on whereas CH1 is
operated. When CH1, CH4 are on, motor voltage is positive and positive armature
current rises. When CH1 is turned off, positive armature current free-wheels and
decreases as it flows through CH4, D2.In this manner controlled operation in 1 st
quadrant is obtained.
Forward regenerative breaking mode (II quadrant): a dc motor can work in the
regenerative-breaking mode only if motor generated emf is made to exceed the dc
source voltage. For obtaining this mode CH1, CH3 and CH4 are kept off whereas
CH2 is operated. When CH2 is turned on, negative armature current rises through
CH2, D4, Ea, La, Ra. When CH2 is turned off, diodes D1, D4 are turned on and
the motor acting as a generator returning energy to dc source. This results in
forward regenerative-breaking mode in the second-quadrant.
Reverse motoring mode (III quadrant): This operating mode is opposite to forward
motoring mode. Chopper CH1, CH4 are kept off, CH2 is kept on where as CH3 is
operated. When CH3 and CH2 are on, armature gets connected to source voltage
Vs so that both armature and voltage armature current Ia is negative. As armature
current is reverse, motor torque reversed and consequently motoring mode In third
quadrant is obtained. When CH3 is turned off, negative armature current free
wheels through CH2 , D4, Ea, La, Ra, armature current decreases and thus sped
controlling obtained in 3rd quadrant. Note that during this mode polarity of Ea is
opposite to that shown in figure.
Reverse regenerative –braking mode: As in forward braking mode, reverse
regenerative-braking mode is feasible only if motor generated emf is made to
exceed the source voltage. For this operating mode, CH1, CH2 and CH3 are kept
off where as CH4 operator is operated. When CH4 is turn on, positive armature
current Ia rises through CH4, D2 Ra, La, Ea. When CH4 is turn off, diodes D2, D3
begin to conduct and motor acting as generator return energy to dc source. The
leads to reverse regenerative – braking operation of the DC separately exited motor
in 4Th quadrant.

THREE PHASE INPUT THYRISTORISED DRIVE FOR
DC MOTOR WITH CLOSED LOOP CONTROL
INTRODUCTION:
Closed loop dc motor speed control unit presented here is based on PID
controller & thyristor power circuit. The PID trainer is to study the characteristics
of the feedback control circuit. The speed of the DC motor is controlled by the PID
(proportional, Integral and Derivative) controller method. The output of the
controller then adjusts the value of each variable in the control system until it is
equal to predetermined value called a set point. The system controller must
maintain each variable as close as possible for any change in the variable caused
the motor.
Power circuit consists of three phase fully controlled bridge converter
consists of six SCR’s. Each SCR’s are properly gated using PID controller firing
circuit to get required voltage for the motor at set rpm.
DESCRIPTION OF THE SETUP:
This setup consists of a DC motor 3HP, 220V, 1500 rpm whose speed has to
be controlled in closed loop control using PID controller & thyristorised drive.
Firing circuit is based on PID controller & power circuit is based on three phase
fully controlled rectifier. Automatically variable DC supply is provided to set the
speed of the DC motor. A speed sensor is attached to the motor shaft. A
tachometer constructed internally is provided to read the motor speed in rpm. A
pulley is attached to the shaft of the DC motor for mechanical loading
arrangement. An ammeter is provided to notice motor current. And a voltmeter is
also provided to read voltage across the DC motor.
SPEED CONTROL AND SPEED MEASURMENT:
A variable DC voltage from three phase controlled rectifier supply from PID
controller through the thyristors. The unregulated DC supply is given to the motor.
The field supply is separately excited by the single phase bridge rectifier provided
at the power circuit.
The speed sensor must be connected from motor assembly to the instrument by the
socket provided in the front panel of the control circuit. The speed sensor, sense

The block diagram of the overall hardware is shows in fig. The feedback
sensor (proximity detector) attached to the shaft of the motor is magnetic
sensor. The sensor output goes high whenever metal screw comes near the
switch. The sensor output is connected to the input of the voltage to frequency
converts. The output of the F/V converter is proportional to running rpm. Then
the system compares the running RPM with the set RPM. If the running speed
is less than the set speed then the firing angle is decreased & if the running
speeds more than the set speed then the firing angle is increased. The system is
keeps on comparing the set speed and running speed. The three phase AC is

135
MTECH POWER ELECTRONICS

applied to the input of control circuit to generate line synchronized triggering


pulse to SCRs. These pulses are isolated by the pulse transform circuit & finally
applied to gate cathode of SCRs.
If the gain of the P controller is less than the error voltage (difference
between set & running) is more. If the gain is increased the error voltage is
reduced. The I controller further reduces the error. If the timing of I controller is
increased almost all the error is reduced. I lower the D controller has negligible
effect on overall system.

INTRODUCTION:
Single phase cycloconverter unit is combination of four thyristor. A
cycloconverter is made by using two phase controlled rectifier circuits connected
anti-parallel.
A cycloconverter is used to converts input power at one frequency to output
power at a different frequency with one stage conversion. Basically,
cycloconverter are of two types namely:
1) Step down Cylcoconverter &
2) Step up Cycloconverter.
In Step-down cycloconverter, the output frequency fo is lower than the supply
frequency fo.In step-up cycloconverter, the output frequency fo is more than the
supply frequency fo. Step-down cycloconverter are discussed in this experiment.
Single phase cylcoconverter consists of a power module and a firing unit. Power
module is the combination of four SCRs and a step-down transformer. The
thysristors are mounted on individual heat sinks and protected by fast
semiconductor fuses. A well designed snubber circuit is provided for dv/dt
protection.
All the terminals of the power module are brought out to from panel through
BTI-15 terminals for connection purposes.
Firing unit generates four line synchronised firing pulses to trigger thyristors of
single phase ac voltage controller power circuit. Firing circuit is based on ramp
generator, comparator, pulse generator, pulse amplification & pulse triggering
method. Gate pulses are taken out through isolation pulse transformer. Firing
angle can be varied from 180o to0o on gradual scale marked on the front panel.
Firing frequency can be divided by 2 &$ times the input AC signal frequency.
Firing circuit testing points are taken out to front panels. All the terminals are
brought out to front panel with BTI-15 terminals.

144
MTECH POWER ELECTRONICS

The circuit shown is for obtaining single phase frequency divided output
from a single phase AC input. One group of SCR’s produces positive polarity load
voltage and other group produces negative half cycle of the output. SCR’s T 1 and
T3 of the positive group are gated together depending on the polarity of the input,
only one of them will conduct, when upper AC terminal is positive with respect to
O, SCR T1will conduct and when upper AC terminal is negative, SCR T3will
conduct thus in both half cycles of input, the load voltage polarity will be positive
by changing firing angle, the duration of conducting of each SCR (and there by the
magnitude of the output voltage) can be varied. For the sake of simplicity it is
assumed that the load is positive. Then each SCR will have a conduction angle of
(π –α) and turn off by natural commutation at the end of every half cycle of the
input. At the end of each half period of the output, the firing pulses to the SCR’s
of the positive group will be stopped and SCR’s T2 and T4 of the negative group
will be fired.

SPEED CONTROL OF THREE PHASE WOUND


INDUCTION MOTOR
INTRODUCTION:
The slip-ring induction motor has a wound rotor carrying a three-phase
winding similar to that of the stator. The ends of the winding are taken to slip-
rings. If the slip ring external connections are open circuited, no current flows,
and the voltage at the slip-ring when stationary will be given by the stator
voltage times the turn ratio. if the shaft is rotated, then the voltage at the slip-
ring the current can flow as we vary the resistance the speed of the motor is
controlled.Chopper control method is more convenient. The rotor circuit with
the chopper functions as a resistance modulator. The inductance in series helps
to maintain the rotor current. The minimum speed of the motor occurs at
maximum duty cycle.
Chopper power module consists of a three phase diode rectifier, inductor and
IGBT. In addition, protections are provided for the short circuits and the fast
fuses for IGBT protections. The devices are mounted on heat sinks and
protected by fast fuses. A well designed snubber circuit is provided for dv/dt
operation
All the terminals of the power module are brought out to front panel through
BTI-15 terminals for connection purposes.
Chopper firing circuit is build in generates firing pulse ti trigger IGBT
power circuit. Firing circuit duty cycle can be controlled from 10% to 90%.it
is operated on fixed frequency variable duty cycle chopper.

HOW TO CONDUCT THE EXPERIMENT


AIM: To control speed of three phase wound rotor induction motor
APPARATUS: Chopper module, rheostat 100 ohm/0.4A, CRO, Tachometer,
three phase wound rotor induction motor, patch cards, etc
THEORY: Three phase Diode Bridge rectifies rotor voltage to DC. Chopper
converts fixed DC voltage to variable voltage through the use of semiconductor
devices. The DC to DC converters have gained popularity in modern industry.
Some practical applications of DC to DC converter include armature voltage
control of DC motors converting one DC voltage level to another level, and
controlling DC power for wide variety of industrial processes. The time ratio
controller (TRC) is a form of control for DC to DC conversion
Time ratio controller (TRC) or chopper is basically a semiconductor
switch as shown in fig. Connected between the source and load. The switch is
closed and opened periodically such that the load is connected to, and
disconnected from, the supply alternatively. Thus the average voltage on the
load is controlled by controlling the ratio of ON state interval to one cycle
duration
The most important factor that governs the performance of the
chopper is the duty ratio. The duty ratio can be controlled in many ways, such
152
MTECH POWER ELECTRONICS

as by changing the on period duration by keeping frequency constant or by


changing frequency keepping on period constant. The third alternative method
is to change both ON period and frequency. Changing the frequency of the
chopper introduces different harmonics at different frequencies. At some
frequency of operation the harmonic contents are larger than the tolerable
limits. Therefore fixed frequency choppers with a variable on period technique
are generally used.
Chopper control method is more convenient. The rotor circuit with
the chopper functions as a resistance modulator. The inductance in series helps
to maintain the rotor current.
The minimum speed of the motor occurs at maximum duty cycle.
PROCEDURE:
1. Power circuit connections are made as shown in the circuit diagram.
Connect three phase input to the three phase auto transformer. The output of
the autotransformer terminals are connected to the respective R,Y,B stator
terminals of three phase wound rotor induction motor. The rotor terminals of
the three phase wound rotor induction motor is connected to the 3 phase
input of respective R,Y,B terminals of three phase wound rotor induction
motor control unit
2. Connect the rheostat load & CRO probe across the load. Adjust the rheostat

3. Keeping duty cycle knob at minimum position switch on the chopper firing

4. Keeping auto transformer at minimum position switch on the three phase

5. Check all the connections and confirm connections made are correct before
switching on the equipments.
6. Increase the autotransformer voltage slowly for suitable value such that

161
MTECH POWER ELECTRONICS

APPARATUS: Isolation transformer, controlled rectifier module, firing unit,


rheostat 100 ohms/2A, inductance 100 mH or 250 mH/3A, patch cards etc.
THEORY: In the bridge rectifier the entire four rectifier is the capability of wide
voltage variation between +Vdc (av) to –Vdc (av), maximum i.e. 2Vm/ π volts. Such
rectifiers find application in DC motor loads for both motoring and electrical
braking of the motor.
FULL CONTROLLED BRIDGE CONVERTER WITH R LOAD:
During positive half cycle, SCR T1 and SCR T11 are triggered
simultaneously through independent isolated gate pulses. The pair of SCR’s
conducts up to π. SCR T2 and SCR T21 are to be triggered in the next half cycle
with another pair of isolated gate pulses. The triggering angle of the pairs of SCR’s
can be varied by varying the control voltages.
For R load, the average output voltage can be found from
Vdc (av) = (1/π) αfπ Vm sinӨ dө
= (Vm/π) [-cosӨ]απ
Vdc (av) = (Vm/π) [1+cosα]

FULLY CONTROLLED BRIDGE CONVERTER FOR R-L LOAD WITH


FREE WHEELING DIODE:
When the single phase fully controlled bridge converter is connected with
RL load with freewheeling diode during positive half cycle T1 and T11 are forward
biased. When T1 and T11 fired at wt=α, the load is connected to the input supply
through T1 and T11 during period α≤wt≤π. During the period from π≤wt≤(π+α),
the input voltage is negative and freewheeling diode DF is forward biased, DF
conducts to provide the continuity of current in the inductive load. The load
current is transferred from T1 and T11 to DFand thyristor are turned off at wt=π.
During negative half cycle of input voltage, thyristor T2 and T21 are forward
biased, and the firing of T2 and T21 at wt=π+α will reverse bias DF. The diode is
turned off and the load connected to the supply through T2 and T21.
This conversion has better power factor due to the freewheeling diode.
The average output voltage can be found from

MTECH POWER ELECTRONICS

Vdc (av) = (1/π) α∫πVmSinӨdӨ


= (Vm/π) [-cosӨ]απ
Vdc (av) = (Vm/π) [1+cosα]
FULLY CONTROLLED BRIDGE CONVERTER FOR R-L LOAD WITH
OUT FREEWHEELING DIODE:
When the single phase fully controlled bridge converter is connected with R-
L load, during the positive half cycle thyristor T1 and T11 are forward biased and
these two thyristors are fired simultaneously at wt=α, the load is connected to the
input supply through T1 and T11. Due to inductive load T1 and T11 will continue to
conduct till wt=π+α, even though the input voltage is already negative. During
negative half cycle of the input voltage, thyristor are forward biased, and firing of
thyristors T2 and T21 at wt= π+α will apply the supply voltage across thyristors T1
and T11 as reverse blocking voltage. T1 and T11 will be turned off due to line or
natural commutation and load current will be transferred from T1 and T11 to T2 and
T21.
During the period from α to π, the input voltage Vs and input current is positive,
and the power flows from the supply to the load. The converter is said to be
operated in rectification mode. During period from π to π+α, the input voltage Vs
is negative and the input current is positive, and there will be reverse from the load
to the supply. The converter is said to be operated in inversion mode.
The average output voltage can be found from

HOW TO CONDUCT EXPERIMENT


AIM: To construct a single phase half controlled bridge rectifier and to observe the
output wave forms with
1. R load
2. Motor load
APPARATUS: Isolation transformer, controlled rectifier module, firing unit,
rheostat 100ohm/2A, inductance 100mH or 250 mH/3A, patch cards etc.
THEORY: The bridge rectifier with two thyristors and two diodes connected in a
control switch this is called as half controlled bridge.

174
MTECH POWER ELECTRONICS

The two thyristors are t1,t2;the two diodes are d1,d2;the third diode
connected across the freewheeling diode FD. after θ=0, T1 is forward biased only
when source voltage is Vm sinθ exceeds E. Thus, T1 is triggered at a firing angle
delay α such that Vm sinα>E.
HALF CONTROLLED BRIDGE WITH R LOAD.
During positive half cycle SCR T1 and diode D1conducts. T1 conducts from α
to π. During negative half cycle T1 is off T2 and D2conducts from π+α to 2π. Thus
there is output across the load for both the half cycles.
For R load the average out voltage can be found from
V0=1/π∫απ Vm sinθdθ
= Vm/π (1+cosα)

SINGLE PHASE HALF CONTROLLED BRIDGE WITH MOTOR LOADS.


When the single phase semi converter is connected with R-L motor load a
freewheeling diode must be connected across the load. During positive half cycle
T1 is forward biased and T1 is fired at ωt=0 .The load is connected to the input
supply through T1 and D1 during period α≤ωt≤π. During the period from
π≤ωt≤(π+α).The input voltage in negative and freewheeling diode D1 is forward
biased, DE conducts to provide the continuity of current in the inductive load. The
load current is transferred from T1 and D1 to Df and thyristor T2 is forward
biased, and the firing of T2 at ωt will reverse bias D1.The diode D1 is turned
off and the load connected to the supply through T2 and D2.
When the load is inductive and T1 is triggered. First it will conduct with D1 to pass
current through load. When supply voltage is negative, load EMF will drive
current through T1D2.This is an exponentially decreasing current. When the new
negative half cycle begins T1 is in conduction and it keep on conducting with D1
as if triggered at ωt=0.In this case load may not receive the DC power. To ensure
proper operation at the beginning of positive half cycle T2 has to be turned off and
similarly T1 should be turned off when negative half cycle begins. This is achieved
by the freewheeling diode.
` This conversion has better power factor due to freewheeling diode.
For RL load with freewheeling diode the average output voltage can be
found from

MTECH POWER ELECTRONICS

THEORY:
The Principle of Constant V/Hz for AC Induction Motor is explained as
follows:
Applied voltage to armature is proportional to frequency and air gap flux of
induction motor. i.e. V/F=Constant
If we maintain voltage to frequency ratio constant than flux in machine is constant.
And torque is independent of supply frequency. The ratio between the magnitude
and frequency of the stator voltage is usually based on the rated values of these
variables, or motor ratings. However, when the frequency and hence also the
voltage are low, the voltage drop across the stator resistance cannot be neglected
and must be compensated. At frequencies higher than the rated value, the constant
V/Hz principle also have to be violated because, to avoid insulation break down,
the stator voltage must not exceed its rated value.
The figure 9.1 shows an AC drive with V/F control concept inbuilt in the drive. By
varying controlled voltage to the drive from 0-10V speed of induction motor
connected to AC drive varies from 0 to 1500 rpm.

Theory:
Closed loop speed control of AC motor –DC generator system.It consists
of same elements present in block diagram 8.1, power modulator control
power flow from source to motor. Power modulator is a AC drive
consists of inverter where output voltage is varied based on controlled
voltage given as input to gating circuit, as input voltage varies from 0 to
10VDC drive output varies from 0-440V. Controlled voltage is
generated from closed loop with PID control implemented in LabView
based on reference speed set value. Actual speed is sensed using
proximity speed sensor and compared with reference speed an speed
error is generated, if error is positive PID controller increases controlled
voltage and if error is negative it decreases the controlled voltage till the
motor speed attains set reference speed. Saturation limiter is limits the
output voltage always in between 0 -5V even though PID controller
output varies -100 to +100. PID controller is tuned using auto tune
blocks available in control design & simulation tool boxDC generator is
connected to AC motor, which generates DC voltage according field
supply voltage to generator and motor actual speed. Loading of DC
generator is done by using lamp load, as load on generator increases
which indirectly loads the motor there by motor speed reduces.

PID control always sees the motor speed following set speed or not. As
motor speed reduces due to loading speed error becomes positive then
PID controller increases the controller voltage till motor reaches set
speed. A graph is plotted between set speed and actual speed of motor
