Summary and objective :

- In this Lab we got to Learn to use the Thyristor Firing Unit.

- we will operating Principle of the Thyristor Firing Unit
# The Thyristor Firing Unit is a module that detects when a sinusoidal voltage passes
through zero and, following an adjustable delay, provides a firing pulse. T

- we measured Firing angle versus the voltage at the ANGLE CONTROL INPUT when the
COMPLEMENT and ARC COSINE ANGLE CONTROL push buttons are set to different option (0,0)
(1,0)(0,1)(1,1)

# Discussion

- In the this tables we did a Circuit used to observe the effect of the conversion functions of the
Thyristor Firing Unit

First to find Angels we adjust supply vs = 50 v and Input voltage from angular control . Then we
got the result for Angels from Thyristor Firing Unit in different option
We change option from angle control (0,0)(1,0)(0,1)(1,1)

- Describe what happens when the voltage at the ANGLE CONTROL INPUT varies.
When voltage raise from negative to positive the firing angle increasing
