In the firing-angle delay block, the constant amplitude ramp voltage is compared with control voltage E,. When rising ramp voltage equals control voltage Eo, a pulse signal of controlled duration is generated as shown in Fig. 4.83. These signals are indicated as v, for thyristors 1 and 2 and u, for thyristors 3 and 4 for the power circuit of Fig. 4.82. If Eo is lowered, firing angle decreases and in case Ee is raised, firing angle increases. This shows that firing-delay angle is directly proportional to the control signal voltage. The pulse output from the firing-delay angle block are next fed to a pulse amplifier circuit. The amplified pulses are then used for triggering thyristors 1, 2, 3 and 4 through gate-pulse isolation transformers as shown. Applications 8.1 UNINTERRUPTIBLE POWER SUPPLY UPS is mainly used for supplying very critical loads such as computers used for controlling important processes, some medical equipment etc. UPS is defined as a system which is designed to provide power during all periods where in the normal or prime source of power is outside acceptable limits, Without causing disruption of the flow of acceptable power to the load The main function of the UPS is to provide backup power to critical loads to maintain operation in the event of utility mains failure, frequently defined as a blackout condition UPS equipments and components Figure 8.1 shows the general block diagram of UPS. Main 4 Critical Main. Rectifier Inverter fee Transfer switch, Battery Figure 8.1 A rectifier is used for converting ac supply into de, which supplies power to the inverter as well as to battery to keep it charged. In the normal mode of operation, the power to the inverter is provided by the rectifier. In case of a main supply outage, power comes from the battery bank. The battery de voltage fed to the inverter. The inverter produces sinusoidal wave form. This ac voltage is fed to the load. UPS consists of following units. i) An energy storage device (usually a battery and thus a de source) to provide power during utility or mains interruption. ii) A rectifier-charger as a means of restoring the energy to the storage device when the utility power is again available.
