Theory: ‘The circuit is a typical class C Parallel inverter. Assume TN to be ON and TP to be OFF. The bottom of the commutating capacitor is charged to twice the supply voltage and remains at this value until TP is turned on. When TP is turned on, the current flows through lower half of the primary TP and commutating inductance L. Since voltage across C cannot instantaneously, the common SCR cathode point rises approximately to 2V de and reverses bias TN Thus TN turns off and C discharges through L, the supply circuit and then recharges in the reverse direction. ‘The autotransformer action makes C to charge making now its upper point to reach +2V de volts ready to commutate T,, When TN is again turned on and the cycle repeats. Free-wheeling diodes D, and D, assist the inverter in handling a wide range of loads and the value of C may be reduced since the capacitor now does not have to carry the reactive current. To dampen the feedback diode currents within the half period, feedback diodes are connected to tapping of the transformer at 25V tapping. : (1) Firing Ci ‘This unit generates two pairs of pulse transformer isolated trigger pulses to trigger two SCR’s connected in centre tapped transformer type parallel inverter, inverter can be varied from 75Hz to 200 Hz approximately. (2) Power Circuit: Frequency of the This unit consists of two SCR’s, two free-wheeling diodes, commutation capacitor and a centre tapped transformer to Parallel inverter.
