THEORY :-

Single phase half wave controlled Rectifier is a rectifier circuit. which

converts AC input into DC output only for positive half cycle of the AC Input
supply. The word "Controlled" means that we can change the starting point
of load Current by controlling the firing angle of SCR. One of the Important
apply of SCR is half wave rectifier a Variable resistance inserted in the gate
circuit to the gate Current. The Ac supply to be converted in the peak
inverse 1/g appearing across 20 is less than reverse breakdown 1/g of SCR.
This condition wave that SCR will not break down during -le half cycles, the
circuit action as follows:

1. During negative half cycle Ac v/g appearing, the SCR does not
conduct, regardless of gate voltage V/g. It is because in this condition
anode is negative to cathode. Also Vin is less than break down
Voltage.
2. The SCR will conduct during the positive half cycle Provide a proper
gate current  less than the power Supply V/g at which SCR is turned,
or the gate current can be charged by the variable resistance R.
3. Suppose the gate current is adjusted to such a value than SCR
classes and positive V/g V2 which is less than the V/g by referring the
graph.
4. It is cleanse than the timing angle α F=ωt and the angle in the +V half
cycle SCR Start Conduction (The angle,  Φ (100-α))

The AC Supply to be rectified is applied to the primary of the transformer

ensuring that the negative voltage appearing at the secondary of the
transformer is less than reverse break down voltage of the SCR. The load
resister resistance RL is connected in series with anode. A variable
resistance R is Inserted in the gate circuit for control of gate current.

PROCEDURE :-

1. checked all the components using multimeter.

2. primary transformer is connected to Ac main Supply with which SCR
becomes forward bias in positive half cycle.
3. Given the input and check the output across load.
4. Checked the output  across SCR.
5. Observed the wave form.
6. plotted in to the graph.

RESULT :-
Studied about single phase half wave Controlled rectifier and plotted
the waveform across load and SCR.
