ELECTRONIC CONTROL CIRCUIT

INVENTORY NUMBER EUD-7-100650000

MODEL NUMBER EU-10065D

The Dynapower EU10065D Drive/Firing circuit is an electronic control circuit that has been designed

to regulate the output of 6-pulse thyristor controlled power supplies. The circuit combines into one

assembly the functions of a closed loop regulator and a thyristor firing circuit. The regulator

maintains the output voltage or output current of the power supply constant, while the firing circuit

generates gate pulses to turn on the thyristors in the proper sequence and phase relationship.

 1. THYRISTOR CONTROL

A thyristor is a solid-state switch. The device has three terminals, an anode, a cathode, and a gate. The

electrical symbol for the device is shown below.

Current will only flow from anode to cathode. For current to flow through the thyristor, two conditions

must be met:

1. The voltage across the device is of such a polarity that the anode is more positive than the

cathode.

2. A turn on command voltage is applied between the gate and cathode terminals.

Once a thyristor is conducting current, it will not turn off unless one of two conditions occurs:

1. Current flow through the device is interrupted.

2. The voltage across the device reverses, i.e.; the anode voltage to cathode is negative.

The condition where the anode is positive in relation to the cathode is called ‘forward bias’. The

condition where the anode is negative in relation to the cathode is called 'reverse bias'. Thyristors are

therefore said to be forward or reverse biased.

Drive-Firing Circuit – EUD-7-100650000 – 2012 Rev 1

A typical application of a thyristor is shown below.

An alternating voltage is supplied by a voltage source. The thyristor is forward biased only when the AC

voltage is positive. Keeping in mind how a thyristor works, it follows that only the positive half-cycle of

the input voltage can be applied to the load but no voltage can be applied to the load until the thyristor is

turned on. A gate voltage must be applied between the gate and cathode terminals of the thyristor. The

gate voltage must be applied when the thyristor is forward biased. A thyristor will not turn on if it is

reversed biased when the gate voltage is applied.

The thyristor, once turned on, will stay on until the voltage goes negative, i.e.; the thyristor becomes

reverse biased. The thyristor will then be turned off by the input voltage, a process called line

commutation.

Drive-Firing Circuit – EUD-7-100650000 – 2012 Rev 1

In usual power supply designs, a transformer is used for isolation and to lower the voltage to the thyristor

to the level required to get the desired dc voltage. The simplest form of a controlled output power supply

is the half wave rectifier shown in the drawing below.

The control circuit used to gate on the thyristor is called a 'firing circuit', hence the term ‘firing a

thyristor’. The firing circuit must be so designed that it only gives a firing pulse during the time that the

thyristor is forward biased. If the gate pulse is applied at the beginning of the half-cycle, the complete

half-cycle will be applied to the load. If the gate pulse is applied anywhere else during the half-cycle,

only a portion of the half-cycle is applied to the load. It is therefore possible to control the load voltage

by controlling the gate pulse position. This method of control is called 'phase control'.

The maximum output voltage of this circuit, with the thyristor conducting the full half cycle of the input

voltage is .45 x Vrms, a very poor utilization of the input power.

The above method makes use of only the positive half of the source voltage. To make use of the negative

half of the AC voltage requires that another thyristor be used. It is connected as shown in the next figure.

Drive-Firing Circuit – EUD-7-100650000 – 2012 Rev 1

Thyristor 2 becomes forward biased when the ac voltage goes negative. It is then possible to gate on

thyristor 2 during the negative half-cycle.

The firing circuit used with this circuit must have the ability to supply two gate pulses, one during each

half-cycle of the ac input. The load voltage will then be, depending on the position of the gate pulse, all

or a portion of the applied ac voltage. The maximum output voltage of this circuit is .9 x Vrms.

3-Phase Systems

In 3-phase power systems, the voltages between the phases of the input power are 120 electrical degrees

apart from each other.

A 3-phase thyristor controlled rectifier is shown in the next figure. It can be seen that there are essentially

three single phase, full wave center tapped groups connected in parallel. The output from each group is

120 degrees away from any other group.

Drive-Firing Circuit – EUD-7-100650000 – 2012 Rev 1

The output pulses of each group are added at the

output of the rectifier to give an output as shown

to the right.

A gate pulse occurs every 60 and all gate pulses

Drive-Firing Circuit – EUD-7-100650000 – 2012 Rev 1

advance in unison. When the gate pulse is advanced to a point where the thyristor in any group would
conduct for more than 60, then a condition called ‘overlapping’ occurs. In the drawing below, THY1 is
on and then THY4 is turned on. Just before THY4 turns on, the instantaneous voltage at the output is
Vpka. When THY4 turns on, Vpk4 is connected to the output. The voltage at the anode of THY1 is
Vpk1a, the voltage at the cathode is
Vpk4. This condition causes a
reverse bias of Thy1, thus turning it
off. THY4 will stay connected to the
output until the next thyristor is
turned on. Therefore each thyristor is
in turn connected to the output for a
maximum time of 60 during which
time it will conduct the full load current.

 2. FIRING CIRCUIT

2.1 DESCRIPTION

The function of the firing circuit portion of the EU-10065D circuit is to develop firing pulses to the

thyristors that are used to control the power supply output.

Dynapower uses certain conventions when designing and wiring power supplies. The

power supply will not work properly if wiring is changed; it is therefore vitally important

that, when installing this circuit, great care must be taken to adhere to the power supply

schematic.

2.2 POWER LINE FREQUENCY

The circuit will operate in 50 Hz and 60 Hz power systems. A jumper connection between terminals 23

and 5 will convert the circuit to 50 Hz operation. For 60 Hz operation, the selector terminal is left open

circuit.

2.3 OPEN LOOP CONTROL

In normal operation the power supply output is controlled by the regulator section of the drive/firing

circuit (closed loop control). The regulator may amplify problems caused by defective thyristors or a

defective firing circuit. The regulator may be bypassed by connecting a jumper between terminals 22 and

5. In this Open Loop Mode, the power supply output is adjusted by the on-board Open Loop Control

(P1), any erratic output in this mode cannot be due to regulator instability.

Drive-Firing Circuit – EUD-7-100650000 – 2012 Rev 1

 There is no output limiting in Open Loop control. Care must be taken to turn up the Open

Loop control slowly, especially if battery loads or anodizing type loads are connected to

the supply. These types of loads give very large changes in current for small changes in

voltage.

 Always set the Open Loop Control to zero before removing the Open Loop selection jumper.

 Always make sure that the Open loop Control is at zero before connecting the Open Loop jumper.

 3. THE REGULATOR

3.1 REGULATOR CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION

The function of the regulator circuit is to derive, from reference and feedback signals, a control voltage to

regulate the output of a power supply.

A basic example is a power supply with a series regulating element as shown in Figure 1. A reference

voltage, point A, is connected to the input terminal of an amplifier. The gain of the amplifier is made to

be large so that any input signal will cause the output of the amplifier to go to maximum. The output of

the amplifier is connected to the input terminal of a series pass element (power supply output) with an

output that is directly proportional to the voltage at its input terminals. As the amplifier output voltage

rises, the pass element opens and voltage is allowed to pass to the load.

A portion of the pass element output voltage, point B, is also connected (fed back) to the amplifier input.

The polarity of this voltage must be so that it opposes the reference voltage. This is called negative

feedback and causes the amplifier to lower its output. The amplifier is called a 'summing amplifier' since

it sums the reference and the feedback voltages and gives an output voltage proportional to their

difference. The action of the summing amplifier keeps the feedback voltage at point B equal to the

reference voltage at point A, thus regulating the output of the pass element.

3.2 VOLTAGE REGULATION

The voltage summing circuit operates as described above. The reference signal (AVC) is applied to the

summing amplifier through a buffer. The feedback voltage from the power supply is brought back to the

summing amplifier through a 'volt limit' control. The 'volt limit' control sets the maximum output voltage

of the power supply.

If there is not enough feedback voltage available to match the reference voltage, the output of the

summing amplifier will go to maximum and the amplifier is said to be "out of control".

3.3 CURRENT REGULATION

The current summing circuit operates in the same manner as described above. The current reference

(ACC) is connected to the current summing amplifier through a buffer. Through the action of the current

summing amplifier, the output current will follow the current reference in a linear manner. Again, as in

Drive-Firing Circuit – EUD-7-100650000 – 2012 Rev 1

the voltage amplifier, if there is not enough current feedback to match the reference, the amplifier output

will go to maximum and is said to be 'out of control'.

3.4 AUTOMATIC CROSSOVER

The outputs of the voltage and current circuits are connected in parallel; the circuit with the lower output

will be in control. As power supply reference settings and feedback conditions change, the regulator

circuit will automatically change its operating mode from constant current to constant voltage and vice

versa. This is called automatic crossover.

For example, take a power supply with a rating of 12 volts, 5000 amperes with a current control (ACC)

and a voltage control (AVC). Assume that the power supply is operating at 8 volts, 3000 amperes with

the ACC control set for 5000 amperes and the AVC control set for 8 volts. The regulator circuit therefore

is operating in the voltage mode.

As load is added to the power supply, the current will rise. When the current reaches 5000 amperes, the

current feedback signal will match the ACC signal and the current summing amplifier will "take over"

and will not allow any further increase in output current. The regulator circuit is now operating in the

current mode. A further increase in load will result in less voltage while the current remains constant.

This will make sense if Ohm's Law is remembered. Ohm's Law states that the current flowing in an

electrical circuit is the result of the voltage applied to the circuit divided by the resistance (load)

connected to the circuit. Thus, as the resistance becomes smaller (more load), less voltage is required to

maintain a current.

Drive-Firing Circuit – EUD-7-100650000 – 2012 Rev 1

As load is removed, the output voltage will rise until it reaches the setpoint. The voltage summing

amplifier will 'take over' and will not allow a further increase in voltage. A further decrease in load will

result in less current while the voltage remains constant.

3.5 LIMIT ADJUSTMENTS

The limit adjustments on the regulator circuit determine the transfer curve of the power supply, i.e., the

relationship between reference voltage and power supply output.

Again, the action of the summing amplifier keeps the voltage at its inputs equal. The limit control acts as

a voltage divider, a portion of the feedback voltage appearing across may be passed on to the summing

amplifier. Therefore, the setting of the limit control determines how much signal (power supply output)

must appear across it so that the inputs to the summing amplifier are equal.

Adjusting the limit control changes the power supply output and determines the power supply output limit

with 100% reference voltage.

3.6 LINEARITY

The linearity of the regulator circuit is defined as the percentage deviation of the output from the set

point. The linearity depends on the design of the regulator circuit, mainly its gain. Once the system has

been adjusted and a transfer curve established, normally only changes in feedback conditions will cause

set point deviations.

3.7 SUMMARY

The regulator circuit controls the output of a power supply in response to reference signals (output

controls), feedback adjustments (limits), and power supply load conditions.

 4. OTHER REGULATOR FUNCTIONS

In addition to regulating the output current and output voltage of power supplies, the drive circuit

performs a number of other functions.

4.1 REFERENCE VOLTAGE

The drive circuit generates a reference voltage that is used with the power supply output controls. The

reference voltage is a nominal +5.0 volts dc and is available on the circuit terminal strip.

4.2 CIRCUIT INHIBIT

The circuit output may be clamped to zero by connecting terminal 5 to terminal 17.

LED 8 indicates INHIBIT is ON.

4.3 REMOTE REFERENCE SIGNALS

Analog signals from remote equipment can be used as references to control power supply output; these

signals may be 0-20 ma, 4-20ma, or 0-10 volts. Switches on the board are set to match the input;

SW3 selects the input to the current channel; SW4 selects the input to the voltage channel:

Position A: 0 – 10 volts

Position B: 0 – 20 ma

Position C: 4 – 20 ma

Voltage Scale control P2 and Current Scale control P9 are used to adjust the input signals to match the

reference voltage generated by the circuit.

Remote Control is enabled by connecting terminal 5 to terminal 19.

LED 11 indicates Remote Control mode.

Drive-Firing Circuit – EUD-7-100650000 – 2012 Rev 1

4.4 FEEDBACK CONNECTIONS

Voltage and current feedbacks are brought into the circuit through isolation amplifiers; the voltage and

current feedback input terminals are also isolated from each other.

The voltage feedback into the circuit must be scaled to be 2.5 volts at the voltage rating of the power

supply.

4.4.1 CURRENT FEEDBACK

The circuit has been designed to accept a 0-50 mv dc as a current feedback signal. After the current

feedback passes through the isolation amplifier, it is converted to an absolute value; this allows the circuit

to be used with reversing rectifiers without having to switch the feedback input polarity.

Current feedback to remote equipment is available in current loop form (0-20 ma or 4-20 ma) and as a 0-5

volt analog voltage.

SW1 sets the current loop output:

Position A: 0-20 ma

Position B: 4-20 ma

Current loop output is on terminal 30.

Voltage output is on terminal 31.

Outputs are uni-polar

Common is terminal 32.

4.4.2 VOLTAGE FEEDBACK

The circuit has been designed to accept a 2.5 volt feedback signal at power supply rated output voltage.

Voltage feedback is polarity sensitive, when the circuit is used with reversing power supplies the

feedback polarity into the circuit must be reversed when the power supply output reverses.

Drive-Firing Circuit – EUD-7-100650000 – 2012 Rev 1

Voltage feedback to remote equipment is available in current loop form (0-20 ma or 4-20 ma) and as a 0-

5 volt analog voltage.

SW2 sets the current loop output:

Position A: 0-20 ma

Position B: 4-20 ma

Current loop output is on terminal 33.

Voltage output is on terminal 34.

Outputs are uni-polar

Common is terminal 32.

4.4.3 ISOLATION OF REMOTE REFERENCE AND FEEDBACK

The power supply output bus is isolated from the circuit common but the remote reference signals and the

feedback signals to remote equipment are tied together in the circuit. If this is incompatible with the

remote equipment, then the remote reference signals must be isolated, either by the remote equipment or

by an additional Isolator circuit.

4.5 OVER-CURRENT PROTECTION

A 'trip circuit' monitors current feedback. The circuit will 'trip' when the current feedback voltage

(proportional to peak output current) exceeds a preset peak level. The trip level is set by a control labeled

TRIP (P12}.

When the circuit is tripped, the output of the circuit is shut down immediately by clamping the summing

amplifiers to zero. After a delay of approximately three seconds, the trip circuit resets itself and power

supply output is re-established. If the condition that caused the trip has cleared, the power supply will

Drive-Firing Circuit – EUD-7-100650000 – 2012 Rev 1

resume normal operation. If the fault is still present, the circuit will continue to trip until the fault is

cleared.

The ‘trip’ circuit has been designed to give fast response to current overloads. Normally the power

supply is shut down within 10 milliseconds of a sensed overload.

The circuit will always ‘trip’ when the EU-10065D is energized, thus there will always be a delay before

output is established when power is applied to the circuit.

A 12 volt logic signal indicating that the circuit is in a ‘tripped’ mode is available at terminal #18. This

signal may be used as an Inhibit signal to other circuits; it is referenced to the EU-10065D circuit

common.

4.6 SYSTEM EXPANSION

The circuit has been designed to drive a second set of six thyristors, used either in parallel with the first

set or used as a reversing set. A second hard-fire gate firing circuit, such as Dynapower EUP-7-

100130003, is connected to the circuit by a ribbon cable. The signal at Reverse Enable terminal 20

determines the expansion mode; default is parallel mode. A 12 volt logic signal applied to terminal 20

will Reverse Enable.

LED 9 indicates Reverse Enable mode.

4.6.1 FORWARD/REVERSE OPERATION

The signal applied to terminal 21 determines Forward/Reverse operation, the default is Forward mode.

A 12 volt logic signal (terminal 5 connected to terminal 21) will set the circuit for Reverse operation;

timing circuits on the board ensure smooth and trouble-free switching of polarity.
